Comment (by sukhbir):

 > Sounds very good. So once the environment variable "TOR_SKIP_LAUNCH=1"
 is set, user's won't get any bad consequences (apart from a few MB more
 disk space).

 Yes, so launching Tor will be skipped when the above environment is set.

 Though I don't know what are you referring to when you say "bad
 consequences."

 > And I quite certain, only the standalone one will be accepted in
 Debian's repository.

 Yup, that's the idea. Plus, we should not be forcing users to download a
 5MB+ extension when they already have the Tor daemon or TBB.
