If the exception is granted, Peter Palfrader's Tor packages from either Debian or TorProject.org could be used to fix any security issues.

We can now look forward to Ubuntu Tor packages being kept up to date!  [1]

The exception was granted, [2] and some of the Ubuntu Tor packages have been updated. [3]

Without the work of many others, this small victory would not be possible.  A few I would like to mention:
Peter Palfrader for maintaining the Debian and TorProject Tor packages! 
Mark Shuttleworth and Roger Dingledine for their support in this effort!
Marc Deslauriers for his support and updating the Ubuntu packages!


Thanks,
Chuck
