Code looks OK, quick manual testing in Tails works fine. I'll wait for
my full Tails test suite run to confirm this and then I expect I'll
push this to tails.git today :)

No strong opinion here, feel free to send a patch if you feel strongly
about it. Bonus points if the patch has been quickly tested in
a running Tails system.
