As far as I got more familar with the repositories now ... I guess an
actual list of packages to possibly port to tails should result from the
following steps:



1.) clone devel branch (stable should also be suitable?)

2.) using package sources as listed in config/chroot_sources/ in
*.chroot_sources

3.) using config/chroot_apt/preferences - Pin-Priority defines the
search order, Pin the location within the apt tree

3.) for each package listed in
config/chroot_local-packagelists/tails-common.list

    if package is found as module on http://deb.tails.boum.org/pool/main/
 and has no armXX .deb
        -> candidate for arm port


    else


        Check if a armXX .deb is available


        If NOT


            -> candidate for arm port




As fare as I saw config/chroot_local-patches does only affect
configuration items, no source code.



Right way? Anything missing/missunderstood?

Thanks for any hints/help!
