Comment(by proper):

 Why so complicated? Why do you want to go through the hassle, getting Tor
 Browser into Debian?

 Getting Tor Browser into the Tor repository, should be an easier, more
 realistic task, which could be done in near future? I think it's also
 required preparation for Thandy. Tor/Vidalia/etc. are already in the Tor
 repository. I don't understand, why you want to go a special way for Tor
 Browser.

 Leaving the distro packaging to the distros. They can pick it up, once
 it's in the Tor repository. If Debian wants it, they have to get
 interested themselves.

 I also believe, that the following statement is true.

 Replying to [comment:6 cypherpunks]:
 > One problem I can foresee with the idea of packaging TorBrowser for
 Debian is that the packaging of Firefox/Iceweasel usually lags behind
 upstream by several version numbers. This is particularly true of Debian
 stable. [snip, see above...]
