Ok, that is a reason.

Anyway, you should not copy images between computers, you should make
your installation automatic.
It scale, and it is easier to make copies. And it isn't that much
slower.
Automatic installation also gives you documentation of your system.

I would sudgest you have a look at FAI, as it is a tool made for
Denian based OS:es, like Ubuntu.
