Hi all,

I might miss the point, but as I also run Tor on Ubuntu, I can confirm it reads both config files, the default one and my torrc.
The default one makes sure e.g. privilege dropping to user debian-tor and a few other things in case you miss to set them properly.
My ORPort and other config is done via my torrc.
And I would bet a cup of tasty coffee that Tor on Ubuntu looks for /etc/torrc and not for /etc/tor/torrc, but I always lose when I'm willing to bet, so I guess it's just a little stubborn.

Greetings to you all.

Christian
