Yes, the tool performs the equivalent of tails-fix-persistent-volume-permissions on the target partition after rsyncing. I had to code it separately as t-f-p-v-p hardcodes the location of the source partition.
Solving that was particularly urgent, as I use apt persistence to pull my custom software onto the tails drive for testing, which is much easier than rebuilding images.
(The only wrinkle that still trips me up is that persisting single files is not supported, so I have to persist the entire /etc/apt/sources.list.d directory, thus tails upgrades require manual intervention - but that's a separate issue)
