Comment:

 As this is still open I take the chance to mention that
 [[doc/TorInChroot]] is outdated as well. I linked to the current debian
 guide but this is not solution. "It will result in a Tor-Installation
 which will be run in a chroot-environment by the special user tor" is
 basically what a packaged installation achieves, so it would be better to
 replace the instructions with a link to the package. However on some
 installations (like shared hosting) apt and dpkg are not accessible and
 the instructions to install from source are helpful.
