  Description     : APT transport for anonymous package downloads via Tor

 Provides support in APT for downloading packages anonymously via the Tor
 network.
 .
 APT already includes mechanisms for guaranteeing the authenticity of the
 packages you download.  However, an adversary sniffing your network traffic
 can still see what software you are installing.
 .
 Install apt-transport-tor, edit your sources.list to include only tor://
 URLs, and you can "apt-get install anarchism" without fear of reprisals.



This software works!  It was forked from the apt HTTPS transport.  It doesn't
yet have a build system or any packaging, but hopefully that's the easy part.
