Hi Clément,

I see now that in November, you added 'torbrowser', which inherits from
'icecat-minimal'.

Did you consult me on this change?  I don't remember seeing anything
about this in my mailbox.

This change concerns me, because it compels me to coordinate with you
when making nontrivial IceCat updates.  As things stand now, it seems
that the 'icecat' and 'torbrowser' packages must be updated together,
in lock step.

Also, do 'torbrowser' and 'mullvad' both comply with the requirements of
the GNU FSDG?  For example, do they support EME?  Do they steer the user
to nonfree software, e.g. nonfree addons.

      Thanks,
        Mark
