It's all about ethics in talking about what to ship with Tails?

Someone already pointed out that it _is_ in Debian:

<https://packages.debian.org/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=xul-ext-adblock-plus>

As has been pointed out, things included in Tails come from Debian. Two
notable exceptions are I2P and TBB. There had been plans to remove
adblock from Tails but that plan was scrapped at hour 11½.
(<https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/8665>)

The fact is that until ublock is packaged for Debian it's rather
unlikely that it will be included in Tails for reasons already
mentioned by a previous poster.

That all websites in Tails are accessed via Tor (via 127.0.0.1) makes
this point false.
