My only remark is that the "Bugs" field is set to
"https://tails.boum.org/bugs/", but this is what's said in deb-origin(5):

    Bugs: bug-url
        The  value  of this field determines the type and address of the
        bug tracking system used by this vendor. It can be a mailto  URL
        or a debbugs URL (e.g., debbugs://bugs.debian.org/).


I.e. http(s) doesn't seem to be allowed. I guess that field is used to
instruct `reportbug` where to send its bugs, and it can't talk http(s).
Should we change it to `mailto:tails@boum.org`, like we use in
Whisperback? OTOH, since we use Whisperback and not `reportbug` I think
we can safely break this standard. But then again, what's the point of
setting that value? Or have I missed anything?

Cheers!
