Regarding the instructions, yes indeed, we don't have a page specific to
Tails Installer with all the different scenarios. We could have one but
I wonder whether we could do without for the time being. Maybe we could:

- Inside Tails, point to:
  - https://tails.boum.org/install/clone/#install-tails by default
  - https://tails.boum.org/upgrade/clone/#upgrade when a Tails USB
    stick is plugged in.
- Outside Tails, point to:
  - https://tails.boum.org/install/debian/usb/#install-tails by default


This would be a bit more code for you but way less documentation work
(and possible ikiwiki troubles), though the result will be a big more
rough for the user.

What do you think?

Could be :)

I'm not a Gtk expert, but yes, I would have a look at how Alan in doing
in the new Greeter and maybe reuse the same (if that's not too complicated).
