Do you plan to download TBB over Tor that is provided by the system, say by adding a dependency on a system Tor?
I was assuming that making the launcher depend on a system Tor would be troublesome. However now that I'm looking at https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian again, it seems like it could totally work. What about for Ubuntu users?
For normal Debian GNU/Linux users, I believe it will work. For recent versions of Ubuntu, I also believe it will work. I would also say that the launcher could prompt them to actually *add* the Tor repositories that fix the problems Ubuntu users may or may not face in the future.
Just a implementation suggestion: Drop a file inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, i.e. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/torproject.list. Perhaps you already knew about the awesome .d magic, just in case.
