Comment(by weasel):

 Debian wheezy will, at least initially, ship with Tor 0.2.3.25 unless
 something really huge shows up yesterday.

 The patch isn't actually that long, so I'm less owrried about patch size.
 What I don't like about this is that it's changing Tor's default behavior
 in what is then the stable tree (of both Tor and Debian).  If this was
 forced onto us as part of a 0.2.3.26 that had lots of things we wanted
 we'd probably take it however.
