You leave your "major problem" unexpressed (will we ever know?) but have
focussed on concerns about the style on the wiki page at

   https://wiki.debian.org/Installation+Archive+USBStick

If the author had known his efforts were not suitable for Richard Owlett
I'm sure he would have written differently. He should be reprimanded for
not tailoring his advice to your needs. Get in touch and badger him to
amend his ways. From all accounts, he is a very reasonable and pleasant
chap.

It's a wiki, of course. Guess what? You can make it better.
