I'm interested in the answer to this question, because I keep changing
my mind as to whether hidden service Debian mirror(s) are worth setting
up.  Would we need to create a redirector service like http.debian.net
to balance the load?

In terms of load on the Tor network, I would have thought that hidden
services cost double the bandwidth, because they use six hops instead of
three.  But I don't know whether exit node bandwidth is the bottleneck.

If anyone's really interested in apt-transport-tor, by the way, there's
this quite interesting bug report that I wouldn't mind more eyes on:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D749611

(which actually affects anyone running apt over Tor using e.g. tsocks)
