 > We have under consideration the uploading the tor packages to a central
 repo (like maven central). If we package directly into 'service/src/main'
 then that won't work cleanly with other projects that want to use tor for
 android.

 The proposed patch is extracting tor to `/var/tmp/dist/tor`, before
 copying it to `service/src/main`. Why can't we just extract it to
 `service/src/main`? I don't think it changes anything related to maven
 central, it's just a simplification of tor-android-service build script.
