Now I've tested current devel of Tails built with the new upstream
live-{boot,config} and there actually seems to be some major breakage:

* NetworkManager isn't started
* the amnesia password isn't set when a sudo password is given (it
remains 'live')
* probably more.

I think this is due to the move of the live-boot initscript into
live-config.

It seems we're much better off shipping the custom built live-boot
snapshot that we currently use, modified to use the new name of
live.persist (and other string changes related to that file, if any) in
combination with a known compatible live-config (e.g. 3.0~a35-1) for
Tails 0.11. We deal with proper upstream integration after that.

What do you think?

Cheers!
