Ok, I could do this. But does this not kill the original stuff? My purpose is,
to build my own tails version with XFCE and kali-undercover and without gnome.
Just to make it as small as possible.

If I commit my personal changes to git, as you requesting, then (please
correct me, if I am wrong) my changes will change the sources in github, what
is the last thing I want to do.

I still do not even know, if this, what I want to do, is really working. At
the moment I am trying things, step by step. And I want to be sure, these
things are only done on my own systems. This must be confirmed.

Best
