Fixed in Git, thanks.

Agreed, and agreed it's low-priority. Given I doubt we want to tie
ourselves to a given specific kind of technology, we probably should
get rid of the "USB" part, and simply call it "Tails installer".
E.g. at some point we probably want to support SD cards.

Interesting. I wonder what specific change in current experimental
branch makes the graphics subsystem (kernel + X + GNOME-side randr)
see a bigger physical screen, or defaut to a bigger resolution.
Does current devel branch also expose the same behaviour?
