Well, it's sad there was no positive answer, but FWIW, this does not
really indicate that all Debian Live downstreams do things by hand:
e.g. grml folks did not answer, while they do run automated tests.

Did you do so, and if you did, what was the outcome?

I have a hard time believing neither the grml tools, nor any of the
ones listed on our automated build and test resources [0], can be at
least used as a basis. Perhaps they are too complex and/or lacking
needed functionality, but please beware of the NIH syndrome :)

And perhaps, eventually, the autotest framework won't look that
overkill. Who knows.

KVM (qemu-kvm package) from testing/sid boots pretty well from a USB
2.0 device passed through the host to the guest. I'm unsure about
regular qemu. I'm using this in libvirt/virt-manager. I hope this
un-stucks you a bit :)
