    Description : a browser based on Firefox that uses Tor for privacy

    I know there is the torbrowser-launcher, but a proper actual package
    would in any case be better.

    Downloader packages, have always various issues included:
    - if not done right, the possibility of downgrade/blocking attacks
    - not included in the package management system (thus things like
    check_apt, etc. won't notice if there are updates)
    - not build by Debian but some 3rd party
    - sources not available as source package

    Naive hopes would be, that maintenance would be rather simple (as one
    could probably follow more or less what the firefox respectively
    firefox-esr package does).

    Thanks for consideration,
    Philippe
