Comment (by yawning):

 As per discussion from IRC:

 There are obfs4proxy debian packages, but not in stable.  I have been told
 that it is possible to install those from sid or jessie, via pinning or
 something, but I have no idea how that works.
 (https://packages.debian.org/sid/obfs4proxy)

 Once obfs4proxy is installed, edit the torrc to be correct.  There is
 helpful documentation that demonstrates how to do so, hidden away in a
 file name `README.md` (
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/pluggable-
 transports/obfs4.git/tree/README.md).

 IIRC obfs4proxy lives in /usr/bin instead of /usr/local/bin in the
 documentation, but the super secret documentation predates the package.

 People would probably want something like:
 {{{
 # Remove obfs3, or leave it there, I'm not the boss of you.
 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 }}}

 Caveats/Gotchas:
  * #14014 exists, but I have no idea what it means or what it has to do
 with me.
  * How to allow connections to the obfs4 port also has nothing to do with
 me, and I don't know the debian way to setup iptables rules.  The port can
 either be specified in the torrc with a "ServerTransportListenAddr"
 directive (see `man tor`, or the super=secret `README.md`), or if left
 unspecified will be randomly assigned (Pull it out of /var/lib/tor/state).
  * `ExtORPort auto` in the `torrc` makes the pt metrics stuff actually
 work, so should be enabled by most people.
