My understanding is that:
* git.torproject.org is the upstream for a lot of different packagers,
* bugs in git.torproject.org are reported on trac.torproject.org
  (there is no debian packages component on the tor trac)

* for debian packages, deb.torproject.org is the upstream of
  packages.debian.org,
* bugs for debian packages are reported on the debian bug tracker

Debian was just in a distribution release freeze, so I'm not sure when
they will update their version. But I'm sure they would appreciate a
patch when they do upgrade.
