Fixed in Tails-IUK 0.12.

As said above, I was waiting to understand your proposal first, which
is now the case. Now tracked by #6511.

Thank you!

Why not. As I said on the ticket, that's blocked by #6461.

Flagged for phase four (#6508), that is likely for 0.23 if we enable
the whole thing by default in 0.22.1.

I've tried with two IUKs, not more.

Yeah.
