Kenichiro MATOHARA:

First of all, I think my previous reply did not address your findings
correctly. Good news though: I've had a closer look at this issue today.

I've fixed this in the Tails documentation.
Thanks for noticing!

Correct.

Tails previously called the tails-installer-launcher executable, because
calling tails-installer directly did not provide the possibility to give
a device on the command line. This was dropped with commit
799b272ea9c1eff3e200476bc291ab9fbaca9003.

When I locally execute
   dpkg -L tails-installer
I correctly get:
   /usr/bin/tails-installer

Now, indeed, as you mentioned, "packages.debian.org" shows something
else in the file list. However, I believe this must rather be a bug
related to packages.debian.org, and seems unrelated to the packaging.

If you agree, I think we should reassign this bug to packages.debian.org
or simply close it. But maybe I miss something?

Cheers!
