bug#35417: closed (Re: Tor Service)

[Raghav Gururajan]

In continuation to my previous email in this thread:

For example, service "openssh-service-type" uses the package "openssh" and the 
latter shows up in
my system packages list. But the doubt is; why service "tor-service-type" which 
uses the package
"tor", doesn't show up in the system packages list??
