--------------------------------------+-----------------------
 When building TorBrowserBundle 3.x with Gitian one has to use Ubuntu.
 (Though not even here I succeed as I tried weeks ago, caught in a loop
 over and over again)

 You are not building under Windows, where it would be complicated to
 migrate away from, this requires Ubunutu, which is based on Debian so it
 might work with Debian as well. If there are requirements in software that
 can't be shipped with Debian there are others based on that, like Linux
 Mint.

 In fact I think this process should be agnostic to the underlying Linux
 distributions as long as all requirements are meet. The free choice of a
 distribution, even if it is just for building and even if it is just in a
 virtual machine, is much more important than having an unnecessary
 dependency. A single-point of failure.
