Or perhaps we can just turn Tor on by default, ship tor-fw-helper and write a basic status of Tor out to a static html file?
Users who aren't familiar with the command line will probably still have a problem configuring Tor. I think that a webui package in Debian/Ubuntu is the best way to go.
Here are my 2cts of the day.
/etc/tor/torrc is currently shipped as a conffile by the Tor Debian package. This means it's a bit hard to edit it programmatically while ensuring painful and robust upgrade paths.
You may want to look at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/1922 (torrc.d-style configuration directories).
What are the settings the Torouter user would want to customize?
I think that users should, at a minimum, be able to choose whether to run a public/private bridge, non-exit relay or exit relay. This means that users should be able to set the nickname, contact info, relay port, directory port and so on. At some point, we may want to add a client mode as well.
