This work was merged and will be part of Tails 3.14.
Now, I'll still be happy to take feedback into account, so this call
for testing is still valid:

Instead use:
https://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_stable/lastSuccessful/archive/build-artifacts/
… starting in 1 hour or so, once the filename in there contains
"20190413".

Many thanks in advance!
