 We have packages for ttdnsd in deb.torproject.org; they're not uploaded to
 Debian.

 > Also, I believe that tsocks (which ttdnsd depends on) is out of date and
 that we should use torsocks instead. Thoughts?

 Yes, torsocks is safe, tsocks is not.

 djb wrote one, who the hell knows about the other? :-) We absolutely must
 not use ISC software whatever we do.

 > > We'll also need the most recent 0.2.3.x Tor release as a Debian
 package, specifically we need to build it with tor-fw-helper. This means
 that we need to package the upnp and natpmp shared libraries.

 0.2.3.x. Do you want to package upnp and natpmp?

 Want is a curious way to phrase it... :-)
