For the first to work, I just copy the boot directory to the card/usb stick and make it bootable (grub install). The thing here is that kernel must be same version as on the system - thus after kernel or initrd update procedure should be repeated. I don't use apt in general and regarding debootstrap with --variant=minbase is OK regards
