Dear Release Team,

Please consider unblocking torsocks 2.3.0-2 for buster:
  
  torsocks (2.3.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  
    [ intrigeri & Sandro Knauß ]
    * Cherry-pick patch from upstream Git, to fix Totem crashing when run
      under torsocks, by adding support for the getdents and getdents64
      syscalls. (Closes: Tails#16618, which would be severity: important
      in a Debian context.)
  
    [ Ulrike Uhlig ]
    * Update package description: don't make safety promises that upstream
      prefers not to. (Closes: #870763)

This issue surfaced when testing under Tails; please see:

  https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16618#change-102199

… for more information and the specific history of the issue. We
would, of course, dearly love to drop our locally-patched copy of this
package and be synced with Debian

The full debdiff is attached.  Apologies for the non-essential changes
to the package description (#870763) but this was already pushed to
Salsa and it should be pretty harmless from an unblock point of view.


Best wishes,
