Hi all, sorry for the delay, upstream took a while to get me commit
access. I've committed a modified version of Miguel's ebuild for
tails-installer-4.4.8 [1]. Many thanks to Miguel for writing it!

Gentoo users can now simply:

# emerge tails-installer

to install tails. Depending on the user's portage settings, they may
need to unmask the package before it will install. Once it's been in
for 30 days with no open bugs, it can be stabilized, at which point no
workaround is needed.
