censorship circumvention / Tor pluggable transports

meek is important to users in censored area because:

  1. it is the only Tor pluggable transports usable in China
  2. a coming feature that allows users to get Tor Bridges from Tor launcher/anon-connection-wizard relies on it.

However, meek has not been supported neither by Whonix nor by Tails so far. It is very likely because meek has not been packaged in to Debian as a standalone client because of its increasingly high-coupling with TBB.

I really would like to do something about it. I will follow up the issue and see what I help with.
