I wrote Tor Browser Launcher, which is currently (very slowly) in the 
process of getting packaged in Debian. Before that, the way to install 
it now is to go to https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher and 
follow the instructions in the readme.

It works great on Ubuntu, and it keeps your Tor Browser updated, and 
even verifies PGP signatures of the downloads.

I haven't had time to work on it in some time, but I would like to one 
day make it available for Windows and OS X too. If anyone wants to 
volunteer :).
