Search for debootstrap, the link provided earlier was for an extremely
old version of Debian although a search for dbootstrap debian | debian
dbootstrap in search engines finds current documentation
debootstrap wiki page
https://wiki.debian.org/Debootstrap
Current Debian install guide
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/index.html.en
debootstrap section in current install guide
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apds03.html.en#idm46300556

To me this doesn't really sound like what you are looking for but only
you can know for sure.
