HACKING.mdwn (at the root of our Git tree reads):

  ## config/chroot_local-packageslists/tails-common.list
  
  The primary list of packages to install in Tails. Sometimes extra
  magic has to be done when installing a package, and then we install it
  with a build-time hook (see `config/chroot_local-hooks/` below). If
  the package is to be installed from another source than Debian Stable,
  make sure to add a pinning rule (see `config/chroot_apt/preferences`
  above).

Now, if the VMs you'll be running inside Tails with GNOME Boxes need
network access, most likely you will need to reason about how exactly
it should work (Torified or not? if yes, how?) and the implementation
may be non-trivial. And in any case, you'll want to ensure libvirt
does not mess up with our firewall rules.

Cheers,
