[Pkg-anonymity-tools] Bug#760075: torsocks: SIGSEGV with torsocks 2.0.0 on some browsers, failure to anonimize others

Please be aware that browsing the web with anything else than the Tor
Browser is not going to provide anonymity. These browsers have many
identifying factors themselves, the anonymity set is going to be
super small. TTBOMK, they also will not prevent linkability attacks
using cross-domain cookies, fonts, HTML5 storage, window resolution and
other means.

I'm not saying that there's not a bug in torsocks. But everyone reading
this bug report should be aware that running web browsers through
torsocks is likely to give a false sense of security.
