#31153: Create a "tor-bridge" Debian meta package

-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Installing an obfs4 bridge on Debian currently requires installing tor,
obfs4proxy, and then figuring out how to configure it. We could create a
meta package, say tor-bridge, that simplifies this process. This package
would:
* Ship with a script that automatically determines a free and random OR
and obfs4 port.
* Help us retire a transport by replacing, say, obfs4 with obfs5.
* Ship with a tool that helps operators get their bridge line.
* Write its torrc to a different file than the tor package, to be
compliant with Debian policy.
* After installation, ask the operator about their nickname, contact info,
and if they want a vanilla or obfs4 bridge.
I hear that infinity0 already thought about this problem a lot in the
context of tor-bridge-helper.
