Comment (by yawning):

 Sure, this is a good idea.

 I'm not sure about how the Debian specific parts of this works, is "apt-
 get install obfs4proxy" sufficient (I know that both Debian's and our repo
 have the package)?

 Basic obfs4 deployment would be something like:
 {{{
 SocksPort 0
 ORPort 443 # or some other port if you already run a webserver/skype
 BridgeRelay 1
 Exitpolicy reject *:*
 ExtORPort auto

 ## CHANGEME_1 -> provide a nickname for your bridge, can be anything you
 like
 #Nickname CHANGEME_1
 ## CHANGEME_2 -> provide some email address so we can contact you if
 there's a problem
 #ContactInfo CHANGEME_2

 ServerTransportPlugin obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 }}}

 (Optionally) For people that want to run both obfs3 and obfs4, the last
 line should read as:
 {{{
 ServerTransportPlugin obfs3,obfs4 exec /usr/bin/obfs4proxy
 }}}

 I assume to avoid user confusion we should just entirely replace obfsproxy
 with obfs4proxy in our instructions till otherwise needed (NB: obfs4proxy
 packages only exist for i386/amd64 and ARM).

 Would this also be the place to document how to use `capabilities(7)` and
 `ServerTransportListenAddr` to run the obfs4 bridge on reserved ports (eg:
 443)?

 Please let me know if there are any more questions.
