Except that I cannot do the guessing git-clone-pack does (without
fetching all the branches)

Exactly my point.  If you are not getting all the branches, you
are not cloning but doing something else.

Not really.  I take this back.  What you want to do I did not
understand well enough.

HEAD is kinda special.  A hack I can think of is to do ls-remote
first and do the guess clone-pack does for full clone case, and
then give a specific branch name to clone.  That might work.
