The xsltproc binary is found in the xsltproc package. The
XSL files are in docbook-xsl. Please remember that if you
create the nroff version in one of the debian/rules file
targets (such as build), you will need to include xsltproc
and docbook-xsl in your Build-Depends control field.

<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
&dhcommand; will try to apply a new ruleset (as output by
iptables-save/read by iptables-restore) to iptables, then prompt the
user whether the changes are okay. If the new ruleset cut the existing
connection, the user won't be able to answer affirmatively. In this
case, the script rolls back to the previous ruleset after the timeout
expired. The timeout can be set with <option>-t</option>.
