It was a while ago, so my memory's a bit hazy, but I'm pretty sure all I did was tell the Debian installer to make a partition on /dev/usbN and put /boot there. Next time I install a machine with a USB boot disk I'll write down what I did, but it's not something I do regularly.
Though the backup boot thumbdrive was a bit more involved. IIRC, had to run grub-install for that (presumably I could have just copied the raw device of the original stick onto the backup, but that did not occur to me at the time).
