Indeed. In related news, just today, someone on #tails-dev expressed
interest in maintaining I2P in Tails.

It does, but I wanted to be more explicit. Perhaps we should commit to
always have sensible-browser -> iceweasel (right now x-www-browser is in
auto mode)? What about:

    update-alternatives --set x-www-browser /usr/bin/iceweasel


in some chroot_local-hook? Or am I just being pedantic?

Cheers!
