Yes, and the advice works :)

I will tweak the docs to make it clear that the Debian full templates

FWIW, I've been using Debian templates as sys-xxx for years. The 
important thing to install is the wifi driver for use as sys-net. 
However, changes from this issue should eventually make that step 
unnecessary for most people:

Normally that's all you should have to do. Wifi cards sometimes need
their driver package installed in the corresponding template. Not sure
about your USB controller; haven't heard of needing drivers for those.
