Relevant info from DPN

[GoOSSBears]

The Debian Project News(DPN)[1] has news of current Debian happenings. 

Besides news of the release of the most recent Debian 8 update, v8.3[2],
DPN also has news of the interesting development of the integration 
of the TAILS distro[3] installer into Debian using sid, stretch 
or jessie-backports[4].

>From the Bits for Debian announcement[5]:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ quoting ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tails Installer is a graphical tool to install or upgrade Tails on a 
USB stick from an ISO image. It aims at making it easier and faster to 
get Tails up and running.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This Tails Installer feature for Debian seems like a very useful way to 
create a *somewhat* secure, USB-bootable, and Debian-based
distro for portable use, e.g., for commuting and/or for longer-distance 
travel. 
(Although the question remains whether any distro including Debian and 
TAILS can be made to be **fully/completely** "secure" ??)
