Hi Miguel,

I was going to do to the same, and asked on IRC yesterday, but didn't
get a reply until this morning:
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/liveusb-creator

Before that, I was considering using the debian orig.tar.gz:
http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tails-installer/tails-installer_4.4.6+dfsg.orig.tar.gz

Linked from:
https://packages.debian.org/en/sid/main/tails-installer

But if you're planning to do so, I'll hold off. I'm about to go on
holiday anyway, so it may be a while before I can.
