Comment:
Quoting the Report from the "Tor ecosystem" BoF at DebConf 11
(http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/Jul-2011/msg00044.html):
We outlined some benefits that would have a `/etc/tor/torrc.d` directory
full of configuration snippets:
* The 'tor' package will not (or less) need patches to change the
default settings.
* It would make it much easier to implement example setups
(relays, exit relays, bridges) either through a debconf question
or through a system script like 'tor-setup-relay'.
* Tails developers will only need to drop a very small extra
configuration file instead of having to rewrite the whole, which
should ease development and reviewing.
* Other packages which need a hidden service to work (e.g. 'onioncat')
would be able to create it automatically by installing the proper
configuration snippet. That would enable them to work right after being
installed.
The include directive was asked on #2863, btw - might be considered a
duplicate.
