Merge remote-tracking branch 'origin/debian'

The future "upstream" is APT itself, which leaves the packaging as the
new master branch of this repository. The merge just ensures we keep all
of the history straight rather than renaming branches.

+Description: APT transport for anonymous package downloads via Tor
+ Provides support in APT for downloading packages anonymously via the Tor
+ network.
+ .
+ APT already includes mechanisms for guaranteeing the authenticity of the
+ packages you download.  However, an adversary sniffing your network traffic
+ can still see what software you are installing.
+ .
+ Install apt-transport-tor, edit your sources.list to include only tor://
+ URLs, and you can make it very difficult for anyone intercepting your
+ network traffic to be able to tell that you are installing Debian packages,
+ or which packages you are installing.
+ .
+ Please note that this approach is only as secure as Tor itself - this
+ software cannot protect you from an attacker who has access to your local
+ machine.  In addition, attackers may be able to correlate your network
+ traffic with the packets coming out of an exit node, so do be careful.
