Yeap. I included this in my report from IFF (send on tails@??? for
the sake of simplicity, sorry). Here it is in again:

Many people from Benetech were at IFF. They explained a bit the
assumptions that were made when they started Martus in 2003 and it makes
it even clearer to me that Tails is good match for them:

- Martus should work for people facing device seizure & still allow
gathering and sending of sensitive data.
- Martus should work with low or no Internet connection.
- Martus should work on older computers, maybe infected.

I tried to make it clear to them that we are not interested in
integrating Martus in Tails by default but that we would be very
interested in helping them to make it easy for their users to use Martus
in Tails.

Now all the dependencies needed to run Martus are in Debian Stretch.
I also recommended them to keep an eye on the Java version in
Debian.
