There were two followups, but since the hardy and intrepid packages didn't see any love at all, I removed the package from jaunty now and blacklisted it. Upstream provides debs which are maintained, and probably much better suited for regular use.

Removing tor from jaunty (unmaintained)
Hello all, a while ago we discussed how to maintain tor in stable releases [1]. However, it turns out that this doesn't work after all, since we have nobody who actually maintains tor in Ubuntu. Thus the current hardy/intrepid versions are horribly out of date. Please see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tor/+bug/328442 Thus I propose that we remove tor from jaunty. It's better to have people install from third-party sources and keep it updated from there, than to have them use insecure old versions in stables. If you feel attached to tor and would consider maintaining it, please speak up now. Thank you!
