 Oh wow. I mean, it works the way that I am using it, which is running as a
 system process on Debian stable and testing systems. I guess others use it
 in lots of different ways.

 testing of it, before we make any changes to the current package.

 Ok.

 > The package that is currently hosted on bintray is not tested at all and
 we currently don't have enough resources to support testing it and working
 on it.

 Would it help if we were to focus only on Debian or only on Ubuntu at
 first to get that package going. The fpm package is where I see people
 installing ooniprobe from on Debian/Ubuntu systems for at least the next
 few years. If there is no resource at all, perhaps we can do a call for
 volunteers?
