Comment (by nickm):

 That's actually right -- we try to change that file as little as possible,
 and we've successfully left it alone for 7 years.

 The issue here is that when we change that file, every debian tor user who
 has edited their config will get a warning and need to merge the two
 configurations together, so we try not to make changes to it without a big
 reason.

 That file is maintained in src/config/torrc.minimal.in ; we accumulate
 changes to it in torrc.minimal.in-staging.
