If anything, this bug provides a continuous track record of our attempts
at keeping this package alive in Debian. It is referenced upstream, for
example, in:

https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/3994

intrigeri: how does Tails ship TBB nowadays? The above bug report says
something about an Iceweasel package 6 years ago, but surely that can't
be up to date anymore... ;) Earlier in May you mentioned a "weird way"
without going into details...

It seems to me we have a common problem across distributions (and
upstream) that we should figure out how to tackle. It would be too bad
if this problem would just disappear under the rug while it's a real
issue for our users still...
