Comment(by dererk):

 Just an idea, expanded from here (note that some part of it has been
 already implemented):
 http://bugs.debian.org/552556

 What I've in mind that could solve part of the problem presented here, is
 for Tor to include configuration from a /etc/tor/tor.d/ likeish director,
 in the same fashion as other software (Apache, DBus, Logrotate, PAM,
 Nginx, Rsyslog, Saned, Tomcat, Xinetd, between others) does,

 In that way, Tor could provide (or vidalia install) a file like
 /etc/tor/tor.d/vidalia, that could contain vidalia's config coming through
 whatever control method used. That would play nicely with Debian policy
 and most others.

 This approach makes sense for upgrades too, as you don't mess (and
 shouldn't) with the main tor configuration, upgrades will go through
 nicely.

 Again, it's just an idea.
