My bet is that the best to get it included in Tails would be to package
it into Debian, but I don't know enough this software to get how this is
possible or not.

Keep us up to date anyway when you'll publish your code.

I can confirm similar behaviour on stable. The sudo requests do not make it 
clear that they come from tails-installer, and there was a brief moment of 
confusion when I got an auth request from syslinux. Less savvy users may be 
concerned by this. But that's a niggle.

I tested this on Debian Unstable, with an iso I already had
downloaded. There were some warnings about my internal hdd:
austin@debian-laptop:~$ tails-installer-launcher
[creator.py:622 (detect_supported_drives)] WARNING: Skipping device

fyi (not sure if that's intended for users to see or not). In any
case, the installer worked fine on a 4GB usb key, though it did
require me to authenticate with sudo twice. Perhaps a warning should
be made that this will occur in the GUI (or recommend root). It booted
on my hardware that I normally use with tails.

This should make testing new isos MUCH easier, thanks everyone!
