Package: bastille
Version: 1:3.0.9-12
Severity: important

The problem is in /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall, which uses both the directory 
/var/lock/bastille (to signal 
that /etc/init.d/bastille-firewall is running)  and the file 
/var/lock/bastille/bastille-firewall (to signal 
that the firewall is active) as lock files. What happens is that, when you run 
/etc/init.d/bastille-firewall start, the firewall starts, but from then, 
/etc/init.d/bastille-firewall fails
everytime, unless you delete /var/lock/bastille by hand.
Fast workaround: add the -p option to mkdir in line 63:
mkdir -p -m 0700 ${LOCKDIR} 2>/dev/null

Solution: move the lock file  /var/lock/bastille/bastille-firewall somewhere 
out of /var/lock/bastille/.

Anyway, neither of these two locks seems very useful to me at first sight, 
unless they are used by some other 
script, so perhaps you should think about dropping them completely
