I agree that, if Tails was to include software for another
cryptocurrency, it should be Monero.

We have a FAQ about adding more software to Tails:

https://tails.boum.org/support/faq#new_software

If a software is not included in Tails, but is included in Debian, you
can use the Additional Software feature of the Persistent Storage to
install it automatically every time you start Tails.

I see that the monero CLI and server is already in Debian but that the
shape of the package is not super great:

https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/monero

I can't find any GUI for it in Debian.

If the Monero project upstream is serious about Linux adoption, they
should be the ones working on having it in Debian. I don't think that
Tails should do this work.
