Hi,

I suggest to send the questions aimed at Tails developers to... Tails
developers => tails-...@boum.org.

It's in our main Git repository:
https://tails.boum.org/contribute/git/

What do you mean with "different from the Debian Live one" exactly?

Sure. I guess we would be happy to take good patches that make our
Greeter more generic :)

I don't have the answer to these questions on top of my head.

Yes.

Indeed. GTK works fine for us, and we're using GNOME, so it's better
integrated and looks nicer.

I wasn't aware we had a "wheezy" suite. If we indeed have one, well,
it's not being used. Our APT repo layout is documented there:
