Hi,

thanks for packaging ricochet-im. As far as I can tell, it depends on
`tor` because it starts, as the user and on-demand, a tor process. But
installing the `tor` package will start a system-wide tor process, which
is probably not the intention of someone installing ricochet.

A solution might be to provide a `tor-bin` package that both `tor` and
`ricochet-bin` can depend upon, and `tor` ships the system-wide settings
(systemd file etc.).

Thanks,
Joachim
