Tails Installer rejects working USB drives, pretending they're not "removable"

there are multiple reports about usb sticks working “flawlessly” before, or know as removable, that are now considered by tails installer as non removable.

a user gave us these links :

and

http://storaged.org/doc/udisks2-api/latest/gdbus-org.freedesktop.UDisks2.Drive.html#gdbus-property-org-freedesktop-UDisks2-Drive.Removable

Tails installer seems to search for a “mediaremovable” flag instead of “removable” wrongly detect removable devices as non-removable.
