Debian-installer has the concept "pre-seeding". I am sure that lets you
create user during install.

No. Actually, you don't even need a full DVD. You can get away with a
netinst image (<200MB) or even a business card image (<50MB).

At least after installation, you can just remove the DVD lines from
/etc/apt/sources.list and you will never be asked to insert any disks
anymore.
