 Ticket for the tasks related to get sbws in production.
 These would include work we have been already doing, but probably we
 should need to add more tasks:

 1. Get sbws in Debian (#26848)
 2. Check that the bandwidth files results are similar to Torflow:
    We have being doing this in https://github.com/pastly/simple-bw-
 scanner/issues/182, though is growing.
    So far we checked:
    - sbws raw results compared to torflow: shape is quite different
    Measured from the same box in different days:
    - sbws raw results compared to sbws scaled: big relays get bigger bw,
 but shape still different from torflow
    - sbws raw results compared to sbws raw results having a bigger time
 for downloading: they're similar
    - sbws raw results compared to sbws raw results resting the rtt from
 the dowload time: they're similar
    - implement parsing Torflow raw files
    - sbws raw results compared to Torflow results: they are similar, so it
 is the scaling method which makes results different

 2.1 i'd create child tickets for the WIP
    - implement torflow scaling
    - check sbws using torflow scaling compare to Torflow
    - change specification
    - ...

 3. Get one bwauth to run sbws
 4. Archive bw files (#21378)
 5. Compare Tor bw files from bwauths running Torflow and from the one
 running sbws
 6. ...
