Comment (by nickm):

 I think they should stay separate.  "sample" and "minimal" serve different
 purposes.

 "minimal" is meant to be the kind of thing that a distribution could drop
 in as /etc/torrc by default.  Because of that, it's meant to change very
 infrequently, since even a comment change in /etc/torrc makes Debian users
 get prompted during each update.  "sample" on the other hand can be full
 of information.

 From the changelog:

 {{{
     - Add a new, infrequently-changed "torrc.minimal". This file is
       similar to torrc.sample, but it will change as infrequently as
       possible, for the benefit of users whose systems prompt them for
       intervention whenever a default configuration file is changed.
       Making this change allows us to update torrc.sample to be a more
       generally useful "sample torrc".
 }}}
