For some of us, finding ways to cheat IS the game.
If I understand the problem correctly it has a pretty simple solution that I have done before. Make a new partition on the destination and dd if=/dev/diskAsB of=/dev/diskXsY where A is the source disk and B is the source partition and X is the destination disk and Y is the destination partition. You may have to run fsck on the destination afterwards and maybe a gpt repair tool.
Honestly though, since it's an ext filesystem, if it were me I'd just mount the source and dest and rsync.
While I don't disagree with you, I think it's a bit funny that you're bringing up hardships using apt to update software in Debian when the biggest complaint about Ubuntu is having to use snap instead of apt.
Ubuntu is not terrible and if it works for you then fine. I would be surprised if Debian or Mint didn't also work for you just as well though.
I had the same experience on my one gui Ubuntu machine. I also have several headless machines, and due to some shared libraries I always ended up with snapd installed even though none of the packages I was running were installed through snap. I always found it through the mount point pollution that snapd does.

Israel is The Combine from Half-life 2, and Gaza is City 17, gradually being destroyed and taken over.
I seriously don't understand how anybody is OK with this whole "Israeli settlement" bullshit.
Tail up!

Two morally confused egotistical millionaires (billionaires?) scheming together in a jail cell? This can not be good.
The problem is that we used to "rawdog the internet", including Tom's Hardware, and there wasn't a problem, but now there is. Enshitification is only understandable when compared with an internet where shit like this didn't exist.
In another thread I was also performing that thought experiment, specifically related to the possibility of Chinese hobby drones being banned for national security purposes, while at the same time possibly allowing Chinese made EVs to be sold in America. It's inconsistent if nothing else. A car would be a much more terrifying IED than a pager. Shame on Israel for showing the world that acts like this are not immediately condemned as acts of terrorism and unanimously rejected as being a bridge too far.
Edit: actually it looks like there may be consistency: https://www.newsnationnow.com/world/china/us-to-propose-ban-on-chinese-software-hardware-in-connected-vehicles/
