 tordnsel needs to build (amd64?) and whether stable-updates are included
 in /etc/apt/sources.list. I'm assuming current Debian stable means wheezy.

 I'm already working on this, since about a couple of days ago. Maybe we
 should poll the efforts?

 [git://numm@xxxxxxxx:tordnsel numm@xxxxxxxx:tordnsel] (subject to rebase)

 Aside from IO Manager internals that the code relied on and that changed,
 and some simple keeping-up-with-the-times (redundant instances etc), most
 of the bitrot comes from `Control.OldException` having been dropped.
 Exception management is a bit involved so it's not completely trivial to
 update, but shouldn't be too tricky either.

 Maybe you'd like to review and comment on my progress?

 At the moment, I am not completely sure what are the possible sources of
 Asynchronous exceptions some regions of the code try hard not to capture
 (i.e. `ignoreJust syncExceptions`) while doing a catch-all? Only
 `killThread`? ... since with new(-ish) exceptions trying to determine how
 an exception was thrown is no longer possible.
