I tend to agree, *but* I don't think that's an area where it would be
wise to create (and forever maintain) a delta with our upstreams.
Also, there's the fingerprinting problem: a fix to this directly in
Tails could make it better, or worse.

If someone has time to tackle this, then the next steps are:

1. Try reproducing it on current Tails.
2. Try reproducing it with an experimental Tails ISO built on Wheezy:

3. Try reproducing it with the TBB.

Cheers,
