Ok.

For whoever ends up doing the review'n'merge, I've only manipulated
magic geometry numbers, so there's not much thought needed in the code
review except making sure I didn't introduce some change that shouldn't
be there.

IMHO the important part is testing the .deb, and looking at the end
result (after the launcher). A .deb has now been uploaded to the
feature/7319-partially-covered-labels *Tails* Git branch's APT suite.
It's built from the debian_7319-partially-covered-labels branch in
liveusb-creator's Git repo.

Ah, now I even found some example branches like that. I

If you even have a weak idea about where I should put it, please tell me
and I'll do it, and then you can move it if you got a stronger one. I
have no idea where this belongs, so it can actually be found and make a
difference.

Cheers!
