Note that for Apple Silicon we are maintaining the necessary bits as an
unofficial Debian port (the "Debian Bananas port") because the necessary
kernel bits are not fully upstreamed yet (i.e. support for Apple Silicon
has not landed in the Debian kernel yet). So while it is correct that
you can install Debian on Apple Silicon, official support from Tails
would require official support in Debian, which requires full
upstreaming, which is not there yet (people are working hard on this
right now). But of course work can be done in the meantime.
