@intrigeri thanks for pointing me towards the right direction. The *.iso finally built and Tails now works perfectly on my MacBook 12“ 2015! 🎉
I’d love to see the changes merged into upstream; what would be the right approach to accomplish this? Sending a merge request @GitLab?

Here are all the changes which were necessary:
https://gitlab.com/marbetschar/tails/commit/3bfe4fdc73ebb2436a719a283ce63a815fc72668 <https://gitlab.com/marbetschar/tails/commit/3bfe4fdc73ebb2436a719a283ce63a815fc72668>
