I'm using separate tor+privoxy/polipo packages on my computers since several years now. Tor and the proxy are starting during the boot on my debian-machine. I've set up an own Firefox-Profile with torbutton for browsing the web via tor. I think it would be a no-go to stop serving standalone packages for tor. I'm connecting e.g. some of my chat-sessions to my already running tor-process, when logging in om my computer. It would be really bad, if I had to start a browser-bundle to do this. I hope, you're not planning to stop developing this standalone-packages? If this packages will exist furthermore in the future, I could live with an own pre-configured Tor-Browser-Bundle - but besides I'd like to have the possiility to configure my own Browser with torbutton. > I am saying that because having separate "tor" and "tor-browser" package > in Debian gives me an opportunity to explain that Tor can be used for > other purpose than only web browsing.
