Re: [PATCH] Add Tor client only package definition

There was a missing space on the previous email. 'indent-code.el' did
not keep exactly the same indenting as other definitions so I did
insert spaces by hand but forgot one, so I'm resending.

Also, I've forgot to mention that the build seems to be deterministic.
