Comment(by Christian):

 Thanks! I've come accross an [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 commits/2012-March/040794.html AppArmor profile], but this did not work.
 The line above did ''almost'' work, but AppArmor complained:

 {{{
 AppArmor parser error for /etc/apparmor.d/system_tor in
 /etc/apparmor.d/local/system_tor at line 4: \
  Invalid mode, 'x' must be preceded by exec qualifier 'i', 'p', 'c', or
 'u'
 }}}

 So I replaced "rx" ("read", "execute") with "ix" ("inherit execute"):

 {{{
 $ cat /etc/apparmor.d/local/system_tor
         /usr/bin/obfsproxy ix,

 $ apparmor_parser --version
 AppArmor parser version 2.7.102
 Copyright (C) 1999-2008 Novell Inc.

 }}}

 Now tor can be started with the init script again and obfsproxy is started
 too. Yay! :)
