Our end-user doc says we support Tails Installer on Jessie but we’re
shipping a very old version in jessie-backports (which won’t change as
one cannot upload to jessie-backports a package that’s not in Stretch)
and none in jessie-backports-sloppy. Our installation assistant was
updated for Tails Installer 5.x already (tails/tails#14677) so currently, even if
4.4.6+dfsg-1\~bpo8+1 still works, it does not match our doc.
I think we should either stop supporting Jessie that is:
- remove the package from jessie-backports
- update the installation assistant to require Stretch or newer
- update
<https://tails.boum.org/contribute/release_process/tails-installer/>
accordingly
… or make it so Jessie users can install Tails Installer 5.x (probably
via jessie-backports-sloppy).
Almost a year after the Stretch release, I recommend the former
approach.

Right now tails-debugging-info includes `lspci`.
I propose it to run `lspci -nn` to include the vendor and product ID in
the output.
The GDM debugging message from tails/tails#14521 runs `lspci -nn`.
It should make the output of the GDM debugging message and WhisperBack

As explained by segfault on https://gitlab.tails.boum.org/tails/tails/-/issues/15218#note_30269:
- supporting via GVfs ~~the simplest possible kind of VeraCrypt
volumes~~ all kinds of volumes except ones using keyfiles is easy
(or even done)
- supporting via GVfs ~~all other kinds of VeraCrypt~~ unlocking using
keyfiles is much more expensive than expected
One option would be to stop here and require users to use GNOME Disks to
unlock non-trivial VeraCrypt devices.
