Package: tor
Version: 0.2.7.6-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Tor doesn't start up at system boot. I've done "systemctl enable tor"
and it still doesn't start up. I have to manually do this via
"systemctl start tor" or "service tor start". This could be related to
apparmor: "systemctl list-units" shows that apparmor failed. This
system is a stock debian testing system, no special kernels or systemd
configuration.

Not sure why you think that would be necessary. Tor starts by default.

The network-online.target doesn't really do anything in almost all
configurations.

If you use DNS names then tor can't start before you can resolve them.
But we have no reliable means to wait for that in Debian. It's a shame,
but there's nothing the package can do for you here.
