That's a good question. Did you know that prior Debian "stable" releases have had books written about them?
http://www.linux.org/perl-bin/search_db?qid=4&spp=20&q=debian I expect that when Sarge is finally released, there will be a book about it. Such a book with CD would make the perfect "retail" kit in my opinion. However, until that happens, how about a 2-CD set? Knoppix and Debian Sarge CD 1. Knoppix for the introduction to how things work, CD 1 for the actual installation when they're ready. While Knoppix does have an "installer", the software versions are haphazard and it is a bear to integrate back into the mainstream Debian archive structure. While I've never used any installation manual for i386, I have used the excellent SPARC install manual that the Debian SPARC team produced. Documentation is linked on this page: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ Maybe just a print-out of the installation manual and Sarge CD 1 together, with Knoppix on the side if people are interested. Up to you, I guess.
