Comment:

 This is an issue in the Debian package that Tor says is a suggestion:
 http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/tor

 Do we want to ask Weasel to remove the "rec: polipo (>= 1)" line from the
 current Tor package for security reasons?

 Is it even possible to remove the "dep: tsocks" from the Tor package? I
 believe that is in there for {{{torify}} and so we'd have to depend on
 {{{torsocks}}} instead.

 I'm not sure if these can change in the Debian Stable package and I'd like
 to understand why they're linked to the Tor package there before I muck
 with the Ubuntu package.

 Weasel?
