There is enough there to keep you occupied until mid-2020. :)
What goes around comes around. https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2020/01/msg00477.html The problem is that you have labelled loop mounting an ISO as a kludge and see https://wiki.debian.org/Installation+Archive+USBStick as not offering a solution. Having eliminated the only two viable alternatives, there isn't anything to offer. Other users would wonder what it is that you want to do. I am loath to say it, but your approach to this issue is not acceptable. -- Brian.
