Sounds like a useful idea!

Sure it is.
As with many things in Debian, however, it won't really happen unless
someone spends time on actually developing the necessary software for
that to be possible.
This could be you! All it needs is for you to look at what would be
needed to make it possible, and work on them one thing at a time until
we have something that could work.
I think that at this point, the closest we have to what you're
suggesting is the Debian Live system; these produce ISOs that, I
believe, can be written to a USB disk from which you can then boot. I'm
not sure if that is what you're suggesting, but if it isn't, then
perhaps you can look at what's missing to make it work better.
Think you're up for it?
