As you wish.

I fully support this point. Nevertheless the issue must be fixed.
Fortunately this is easy: The default value of query_port_start=0 which
effectively lets the kernel choose source ports (sequentially). Shipping
a new config file with query_port_start=1024 solves the issue (verified
on sid/amd64 and etch/i386). Additionally I suggest a cirtical debconf
question in case this value is not found in a unchanged configuration
file.

Affected distributions include etch, lenny and sid.
