No problem, thanks for the review :)

It sounds good for me.

ok.

I use the same procedure in Debian jessie and Tails:
** apt-get install python-distutils-extra python3-distutils-extra
** git clone https://git-tails.immerda.ch/kurono/liveusb-creator
** git checkout feature/9005-Improve-tails-installer
** python setup.py install
** tails-installer

Sometimes I have to copy the UI files manually (maybe the setup is buggy):
** cp -R data/* /usr/local/share/tails-installer/

ok, let me know if you had problems with this.
