[tor-dev] #14995: adding multi-instance support to debian packages (patch)

Hi Weasel,

many relay operators run multiple tor instances to overcome certain
limitations. Currently the official deb packages do not come with an
easy configurable way to run multiple tor instances.

I created a ticket [1] and wrote a patch [2] to add such a
functionality to the debian package while preserving the current
behavior.

A similar enhancement got submited to the RPM packages and is now
shipped in RPMs since tor 0.2.6.4-rc [3].

It would be great if you could find some time to review and comment on
#14995 - before tor 0.2.6.x gets released.

thanks!
Nusenu
