Please adopt torbrowser-launcher on deb.torproject.org

To install and maintain Tor Browser Bundle (TBB) on Ubuntu I currently need to:

  1. Add deb.torproject.org as a source to get the latest Tor router (per https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian)
  2. Add ppa:micahflee/ppa as a source to get the latest torbrowser-launcher (per https://github.com/micahflee/torbrowser-launcher#installing-in-ubuntu)
  3. Use torbrowser-launcher to get the latest TBB
  4. Rely on sources and torbrowser-launcher for further updates

My suggestion (if feasible) is to include torbrowser-launcher in deb.torproject.org and thereby skip step 2. (Step 2 is also tricky on Debian-based distros other than Ubuntu.) This would not only be more convenient, but I would have a single point of trust (deb.torproject.org) for everything Tor-related.
