The scope of the ticket has just now been changed from "create a Tails
template" to "[META] Tails-like functionality in Qubes".

To illustrate what a Qubes Tails template would mean... In comparative
terms...

- better integration: comes with Qubes tools installed by default
[comparable to a VM with VirtualBox guest additions installed by default
or not for mouse integration, clipboard sharing, seamless mode and so forth]

- easier installation: installs Tails on Qubes by using the system
package manager [comparable to downloading a VirtualBox image from the
internet vs downloading/inserting a Tails DVD manually into VirtualBox]

[Currently Tails can only be run as a HVM in Qubes: It can be roughly
compared to booting Tails inside VirtualBox without having VirtualBox
guest additions existing]

Cheers,
