Comment (by arma):

 See also #33850, where they find that Tor (0.4.1.7 and 0.4.2.x) doesn't
 release its handles on log files during HUP, which means that in the deb
 package, logrotate (a) accumulates more and more file handles inside Tor,
 and (b) fills up your disk because nothing ever gets deleted. They
 narrowed it down to the fix in commit 8a23393eda which is part of this
 ticket. So: that would seem to be another reason to backport at the
 appropriate time.
