Not a real answer to your question, but you could build an install Blu-ray with the jigdo-tool. https://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/ The current first one (buster) you can create is 21 GB in size. There are 4 Blu-rays in total. You need a writer/reader for those disks of course, not sure if dd to an USB flash drive works with the Blu-ray iso-file. I use a special USB flash drive which supports booting from iso-files, the IODD mini (I did just a test, the debian install Blu-ray iso-file boots fine) http://iodd.kr/wordpress/product/iodd-mini/ Hope this helps
