Indeed, no more errors. I've corrected wiki entry. The thing about warnings is that
many of them are related to the parts of code which we do not use or even do not plan
to use so there is not my point in correcting them right now. I'll try to fix them
gradually although I guess it's rather low-priority task atm and I'll try to keep the
warnings to the minimum in new code.

Ahh, great that you've found it, thanks!
Should be fixed with latest git push.

I've updated design page. Should be clearer now.

Updated install instructions recently.

Yes, although it happened more "early morning" than "late night" due to time
difference :)
As a result login is working now although not via BeginAutoLogin feature but through
"regular" user-auth procedure (hardcoded user & password). I've tested BeginAutoLogin
and it works too so probably I'll use it in near future.

Anyway, I have a question on "add .deb to tails repo" - how to do it?
Do we integrate source package?

I've also added note about dpkg-divert - I'll take a look how to integrate it into
.deb: now when we have working logon procedure it actually make sense to do earlier :)

cheers,
Max.
