Overall, this seems feasible.

Here are some thoughts on the blueprint:

Autodetect if the destination key has Tails already.
====================================================
* Then display "Install" and "Upgrade" buttons accordingly.

=> Here, do we also want to have an option "Overwrite" or "Reinstall"?
Or do people need to erase their USB sticks if they want this?

Add visual and textual context to main interface.
=================================================
=> I'm not sure if i understand what you mean.

Add a splash about creating persistence after rebooting.
========================================================
=> Could you please explain in detail when this screen would show up
exactly as I am not sure if I understand. Is this be part of the
Installer itself?

Cheers!
