I did not, thanks for the pointer!

I've just suggested the Tor Browser team to consider it:
https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser-build/-/issues/40625

As for the tor client, and other software that use the Debian build
system, it'll require changes to the Debian toolchain. I've just
sent a bug report against dpkg-dev to suggest it.

Cheers!
