Yes, but this is a "minimal image" as I understand and additional
binaries (for example if you want an lxde desktop) will be downloaded.
That's fine for a single install, but requires re-download of same
packages should one aim to install on several systems.

yes,but a local repo takes care of that. (and that repo can be the contents of the cd)

 

If there is one, I have not come across a desktop (gnome/kde/lxde) live
image+netboot iso file in the repository.

you are right that there are no live+netboot/install images (iso or other), but since grub has great menu capability, you can offer either netinstall or live (which can be created from any iso created by debian live by extracting the kernel, initrd, cmdline and rootfs (I have done it with a gparted iso))
