Thanks for noticing. I forwarded this report upstream:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8659

Care to submit a patch?

Debian is a binary distribution: we don't ship instructions about
building packages in the packages themselves.

However, Debian distributes its source, and source packages have
build-dependencies (see the debian/control file), that you can easily
install this way:

  # apt-get build-dep torsocks

So, I'm calling that one not-a-bug. In the future, please try to file
separate bug reports for separate problems, as it makes it much easier
to deal with on our side. Thanks!

Cheers,
