Cannot build Python on Debian testing

After the holidays, I could not build Tor Browser on Debian testing anymore.

The build process stopped at building Python, because its filename contains the output of lsb_release -r, which now on Debian produces testing/unstable.

That slash is not escaped in the filename, and as a result, tar tried to create the Python output archive in a non-existing directory.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
