This one should also create an empty directory in /etc/skel. Otherwise
the 'bookmarks' directory will not exist when no persistence is used,
resulting in a broken Iceweasel.


What is also needed before we can merge this work is an update to the
design documents and the end-user documentation, see
<https://tails.boum.org/contribute/merge_policy/> for details.
Do you want to carry on your work on this front as well?

Thanks for your contributions!
