[Impact]
The torbrowser-launcher package in Ubuntu 20.04 does not work *at all* on new installations (see bug #1856895), because of a Tor Browser Developers public key change (old key is not valid anymore) that causes Tor Browser archive downloaded by torbrowser-launcher when being launched for a first time to fail verification. The included debdiff contains patch with a new key from latest package version (that is in Debian Testing and Ubuntu Groovy) and makes the torbrowser-launcher work again.

[Test Case]
1. Use a clean, fully updated Ubuntu 20.04 system where torbrowser-launcher was not previously installed/configured.
2. Install the "torbrowser-launcher" package.
3. Run "Tor Browser" from a desktop menu (or "torbrowser-launcher" from terminal).
4. Wait for the Tor Browser archive to finish downloading, verifying and unpacking.

[Regression Potential]
None. This debdiff adds just the one patch mentioned above.

** Affects: torbrowser-launcher (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
