Same as Alan's.

I know. That is the problem... among other things. The push to
feature/tails-greeter was intended to another remote :/. So what I
propose is to rebase that branch with a new good live-boot, built an
also rebased persistent-custom in our live-boot repo. Rebasing that
branch should be ok to do since we don't care about the history of that
broken live-boot in feature/tails-greeter since it will be lost forever.
Ok? This will be a one time exception to the normal work flow.

Cheers!
