Great, thanks a lot for your patches. I added them the our Git branch,
see
https://git-tails.immerda.ch/tails/log/?h=feature/6739-install-electrum.
I still want to rephase them a bit but I'll do that later.

To make sure I understand the consequences of this correctly, if I
change my receiving address is there no way of linking it to the
previous one? For example, do my bitcoins have some kind of "serial
number" for example? In that case, can the bitcoins I received on
address A, be identified as the bitcoins I sent later on through address B?

Well noted, thanks!
