I've been asked by Tor developers if it would be possible to remove the tor package (which is in universe) from future Ubuntu releases. The software can (and should?) stay in the repository and in development versions but should be released.
Tor is anonymity software and routinely fixes bugs and implements new features that work around problems that compromise users' anonymity. The software's developers believe that is better to have no package at all in a release than to have packages that are up to 18 months old and which will, in all likelihood, provide users with a false sense of anonymity. For Tor users on Ubuntu up-to-date versions for currently maintained Ubuntu releases can be found here: http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorOnDebian Does this sound reasonable to folks?
