I do not yet know much about the tails architecture and build process,
so it currently is not that likely that I will be able to provide this
patch soon.

I now tried the "manual" build process and noticed that root access is
required ("Every build commands must be run as root"). I am very
hesitant to run an unknown build process as root. Why is root access
required?

Cheers,
Andreas
