The feature/tor-0.2.5.x-alpha (sic) branch:
* installs Tor 0.2.5.7-rc from the Tor project's
tor-experimental-0.2.5.x-wheezy APT repo
* enables the brand new syscall sandbox if no special Tor
configuration is asked for in the Greeter (as it's not compatible
with managed proxies); as said earlier, finer granularity would be
better (too bad users who simply need to configure a HTTP proxy or
allowed firewall ports won't get the sandboxing, while technically
they could), but that's the low-hanging fruit I could easily pick
while I were at it, and is already much better than nothing.
It passes the test suite for me, and I successfully manually tested
bridges support (since we have no automated tests for that yet).
