Comment:

 > So I decided to start working on a completely separate piece of software
 called Tor Browser Launcher, which is a program that helps you download,
 upgrade, and run TBB. It's not functional yet, but code so far is here:
 https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher

 Maybe no need to duplicate that effort.

 I completed such a script for Whonix. The one in the stable branch is well
 tested by many people. (Failed once when tpo forgot to update the
 changelog.) The one in the untested_adre branch is well tested by me.

 https://github.com/adrelanos/Whonix/blob/untested_adre/whonix_workstation/usr/local/bin/torbrowser

 It can be used as a cli application or with a zenity gui. Also verifies
 the gpg keys. (Which are better downloaded at build time, not at download
 time, because of keyserver failure sometimes.) (The code for gpg key
 download at download time, through Tor time or in the clear, is still in
 the git log.)

 Right now the script is a bit Whonix specific but if you are interested it
 could be easily mainstreamed. It can either download through Tor or in the
 clear.

 I would be very happy to help with the download, gpg verify and and
 install script, to let someone else takeover maintenance ship and to see
 it landing in Debian. License is GPLv3+, but you could talk me into using
 BSD two clause or even public domain (CC0) or so if required.

 You can contact me here or by e-mail if you have questions or requests for
 that script.
