Comment (by MaKoTor):

 After rebooting the machine ~1.5 days ago, it starts happening again:
 {{{
 $ sudo find /proc/*/fd -ls | grep  '(deleted)'
  11271    0 l-wx------   1 debian-tor debian-tor       64 Apr  8 14:12
 /proc/509/fd/9 -> /var/log/tor/debug.log.1\ (deleted)
  11272    0 l-wx------   1 debian-tor debian-tor       64 Apr  8 14:12
 /proc/509/fd/10 -> /var/log/tor/notices.log.1\ (deleted)
 }}}

 I will enable similar log configurations on other hosts with other linux
 flavors and start tracking down if the problem is related to
 /etc/logrotate.d/tor , tor itself or if it is a one-off on the currently
 affected machine.
