It has now migrated to testing, but can't be installed as-is on Wheezy
(at least due to Depends: libc6 (>= 2.14), and I didn't look further).
Do you want to try backporting it, and ask the maintainers if they're
interested in sponsoring an upload to wheezy-backports?

In any case: please consider submitting a branch (forked off
feature/jessie) that implements this for Tails/Jessie :)

Cool. It would be useful to know how much actual ISO size it would
save, to decide whether the backporting work is worth it.

Cheers,
