torsocks is free software. If it is unmaintained but the software is
still relevant, then it'll find new maintainers. If we really need it in
Tails, maybe it will fall on our plate.

And even we could still replace it with tsocks or proxychains or some
other LD_PRELOAD based solution.

I am pretty sure both could be addressed.
