That means that it cannot be used in Tails Greeter. I think this
deserves to be documented somewhere. Shall we consider that the same
thing is probably true for a BlueTooth mouse?

→ We could add to "System requirements" that Tails requires a USB or PS2
keyboard and mouse.

Unfortunately, #5336 which is blocking #5451 has no description, but
does that mean that until #5336 is resolved we want to discourage our
users from using BlueTooth at all?

→ So we could also add a FAQ "Can I use a bluetooth keyboard or mouse?"
and explain there the workaround with gnome-bluetooth unless we think
that's too risky.
