Regarding the "when", if we decide to do a first temporary step by
having an "i2p" boot option instead of an option in the Greeter, then we
don't have to wait for the new Greeter... It feels a bit like going
backward regarding our plans on the Greeter but we've been doing that
for truecrypt forever and the doc is ready... That could be ready for
Tails 1.1.1, no?
