If you see my email from earlier today, I already did this: https://mailman.boum.org/pipermail/tails-dev/2017-January/011190.html

I did!

However, in your repo I still see that commit bed6399b contains the merge_yml() code. You are gonna do that externally, right? However, the commit talks about "add /etc/tor-controlport-filter.d configuration support", so perhaps it was a mistake (i.e. you wanted to add a `--filter-dir` option, but picked the wrong commit)?

These were the commits I imported.

That error was not present in the code I looked at. Strange.

Cheers!
