Integrate Tails-specific Debian packages into the main git repo
We maintain some Debian packages which are solely used in Tails and cannot reasonably used outside of Tails. IMO, maintaining these as Debian packages makes our lives unnecessarily harder, because we have to release, build, and upload a new Debian package every time we change something in these packages.
We also share code between the main repo and some packages, which makes it hard to find usages/implementations.
The two packages I currently have in mind are tails-greeter
and
tails-persistence-setup
.
I propose that we integrate them into the main git repo by copying the
files that are installed by the package into
config/chroot_local_includes
.
