 Admitting this is something that I'm very unlikely to have time for.

 Many different ways have different advantages and disadvantages. There is
 no One True Way™.

Comment (by eighthave):

 I think a better way to handle this is writing scripts for server
 automation software like Ansible, Chef, etc. @uniqx has done just that for
 obfs4proxy using Ansible:

 * https://gitlab.com/uniqx/pt-obfs4proxy-minimal-demo
 * https://gitlab.com/uniqx/pt-socks5-over-obfs4proxy

 There is an in-depth explanation here:

New description:

 Installing an obfs4 bridge on Debian currently requires installing tor,
 obfs4proxy, and then figuring out how to configure it. We could create a
 meta package, say tor-bridge, that simplifies this process. This package
 would:

 * Ship with a script that automatically determines a free and random OR
 and obfs4 port.
 * Help us retire a transport by replacing, say, obfs4 with obfs5.
 * Ship with a tool that helps operators get their bridge line.
 * Write its torrc to a different file than the tor package, to be
 compliant with Debian policy.
 * After installation, ask the operator about their nickname, contact info,
 and if they want a vanilla or obfs4 bridge.
 * Maybe ship with [https://nyx.torproject.org nyx] so operators have a
 sense of how their bridge is doing.

 I hear that infinity0 already thought about this problem a lot in the
 context of tor-bridge-helper.
