 obfs4proxy was package in Debian in #12910, but is currently only
 available in Debian testing and unstable.

 Producing backports for Debian jessie and currently supported Ubuntu
 suites would improve availability to relay operators, and make it easier
 for relay operators to run useful bridges.

 I'm happy to do this work, but it should be coordinated with
 infinity0/lunar who currently maintain the package in Debian. I'm also
 happy for them to do the backporting work.

 For the Ubuntu backports, we should host these on deb.tpo (and if we
 choose to do so we should host Debian packages (sid, stretch, jessie)
 there too for completeness.
