Okay the issue was solved. Somehow, no matter how many times I copied the original files from the old Debian server or how many different USB sticks I used, something somewhere was getting corrupted. I finally used scp and everything copied flawlessly. I'm gonna blame the old Debian server's hardware, which was a major reason I was wanting to migrate in the first place: old, unstable, low-powered. Thanks to those in the Matrix room who were able to help me figure that out. God damn that one was frustrating. It seemed like everything was copying so I never even suspected data corruption.
