there was no previous discussion, I've just setup automated tests, which will 
install the torbrowser-launcher package in various Debian suites (using 
schroot) and run it, thus download TBB via tor and then go to www.debian.org.

Yay \o/

I plan to maintain this nicely so that torbrowser-launcher works nicely in 
future, and if not, we shall be notified, with very few false negatives.

So even more yay in future. Already today it's quite nice and useful IMNSHO.

I expect to go to 0.2.2 (or whatever it's current) in sid once it's clear how 
we fix stretch and sid.

Because it has less commits, until... I was hit by #805078 basically, shortly 
after spending lots of time getting 
https://jenkins.debian.net/view/torbrowser/ ready, which ironically ain't hit 
by it. More on this in #805078 shortly though ;)


cheers,
