>     Remove hardcoded SOCKS port patch and update changelog.

(The commit message paraphrases what I see in the diff, but does not
explain the rationale behind this change, so I'm asking here.)

I'm afraid I don't follow: this seems to directly contradict the
conclusion we've reached on #858034, no?

As discussed on #858034, if we really want Torbirdy to port 9150 by
default for some reason, then the package must "Depends:
torbrowser-launcher" and be moved to contrib (as per policy).
Additionally, IMO we should handle it like a change that can cause
serious trouble, i.e. add an entry in NEWS.Debian that tells users why
their Thunderbird suddenly can't connect to their email server anymore
and how to fix it.

Thanks for working on getting the newest Torbirdy in Debian!

Cheers,
