 Why is that? TBB for Linux is only released in x86 and amd64, and Tor
 Browser Launcher works great for both.

 It's been a couple weeks since I've had time to fix the final bugs (I'm
 hoping to dig out a solid hack day soon), but it already works well enough
 to download TBB for your architecture, in your language, verify
 signatures, and auto-update.

 Go ahead and git clone it, and follow the readme to build a deb:
