Pardon for delay - I've been away for short trip.

As I mentioned in latest version of app. - it seems possible to me too: to use
dpkg-divert and thus override some files from gdm3 package with tails-greeter.deb

Of course a) it will require more testing (to make sure that nothing breaks after
deinstallation of tails-greeter etc) and b) that's secondary priority: 1st of all we
should make tails-greeter :)

I mean having convenient way to package it is nice but even if dpkg-divert approach
will fail - we can always get back to modification of original gdm3.

cheers,
Max.
