-------------------------+---------------------------
 The [https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en installation
 documentation for debian] recommends (e.g. for Debian Jessie) a sources
 list entry like this:

 {{{
 deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main
 deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main
 }}}

 As these packages can also be [https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org
 downloaded via HTTPS], the recommendation should use the secure protocol
 to reduce the amount of information visible to a potential eavesdropper.

 At DebConf15, Jacob Applebaum
 [http://www.richardhartmann.de/blog/posts/2015/08/24-Tor-
 enabled_Debian_mirror/ recommended to TLS-enable] all mirrors. To be
 aligned with that vision, the Tor project should not recommend non-TLS
 setups.
