Comment:

 Yep, doesn't matter. `ttdnsd` is no longer a Debian package.

 However, it still is in ''our'' repositories at
 [http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/pool/main/t/ttdnsd/
 pool/main/t/ttdnsd/]. We should get rid of it. Ioerror doesn't appear to
 be maintaining it (nor is anyone else). It has many poor design choices
 which I would consider to be serious privacy issues, such as using
 Google's `8.8.8.8` as its default resolver. Additionally, `ttdnsd` is
 broken in numerous other ways,
 [https://tails.boum.org/contribute/design/Tor_enforcement/DNS/ttdnsd_broken/
 as pointed out by the Tails developers].
