 I've been told many times that in order to get a deb onto
 deb.torproject.org that the package must at least exist in Debian's repos.
 I don't want to do more than required in order to get sbws on deb.tpo.
 Some dirauths are willing to install sbws from deb.tpo, and AIUI we can
 have a more rapid release cycle (if required) when primarily pushing to
 deb.tpo.

 Replying to [comment:15 juga]:
 > So you suggest to call sbws "tor-sbws" both for the upstream and the
 Debian package?. Pastly, would you agree with that name change?

 It's fine with me if the package is called tor-sbws instead of sbws.
