I needed devel to build so I fixed it myself. It meant removing our two
Torbirdy patches. That I did by merging myself my own branch for #11619,
that's bold but given the tiny change I guess that's not too much. I've
tested the autoconfig wizarr and didn't find any regression compared to
2.5 or 2.4. If someone (u?) wants to check again just un case, that'd be
nice. That also meant merging the Tor 2.8 branch, as it has been
released some days ago and our apparmor patch in devel wasn't up-to-date
anymore. Ironically, that's why I wanted devel to build at the first
place.
