Hi all,
hi Roger,

I hope you are doing well.

In January there'll be the freeze for the next stable release of Debian
Bullseye. [1]

In previous versions of Debian stable, we generally did not include
torbrowser-launcher, because we lacked time and availability to take
care of that package properly.

How do you feel about this issue with regards to Debian Bullseye?
I think it's worth and valid to consider having torbrowser-launcher only
available via backports, as we do now and excluding it from Bullseye -
on the grounds that it'd be a lot of effort to keep maintaining that
piece of software for Bullseye's lifetime.

But I'm only mentioning it, so that it has been said. I'm not going to
open a bug for this issue myself.

- Ulrike
