[SRU] Multiple issues with Tor Browser Launcher

Here is the patch file included in the debdiff: https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-privacy-team/torbrowser-launcher/-/blob/72b87f502af0666954d9ae9f51b794d546e1ab6c/debian/patches/0028-Update-Tor-Browser-Developers-public-key-481.patch

The same patch file is already included in the torbrowser-launcher source package in Ubuntu Groovy.

Since yesterday release of Tor Browser 10.0, torbrowser-launcher fails its version checking and needs another simple patch to work properly: https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher/pull/499

I will update this SRU once this is fixed in Debian.

> There should be none.

This is not a valid regression potential. There is never a case where the regression risk is exactly zero.

Thanks Thomas for reviewing this SRU. I have updated the regression potential, please let me know if it is ok now.

Anyway, I will rewrite it once more after the second patch (see bug #1896752) is added.

That part looks good to me. i'm not on the SRU team, but I am on the sponsors team, so now we're just going to be waiting for the rest of the patches and fixes to be in. This is still in the hands of the SRU team in the interim. :)

Thomas, thanks again for working on this SRU!

As discussed on IRC, this is what should be included in the SRU:
1.

Oops, sorry for sending the incomplete comment.

Build tests have been done on this here: https://launchpad.net/~teward/+archive/ubuntu/torbrowser-launcher-focal

Please test this package in the PPA before I upload it to the Repositories - this needs additional review before I can put it into the repos, but we can at least determine if this solves all the specified issues.

I have just tested your build and it seems to work fine here on my Ubuntu 20.04 based Linux Mint 20 system.

I have also checked the source file and can confirm that every patch/change mentioned in my previous comments seems to be correctly applied. :-)

Thanks!
