May I suggest to NOT change the system again, not the release system, not
the install system nor the packaging options built into the Shorewall
distribution!
There are many more packagers than the Debian or Fedora folks. Maybe they
don't speak out, but still have to reflect all the changes which have been
done in the past in their kind of packages. And there were many changes in
the last couple of months...

I prefer if the Shorewall devs - of course mainly you Tom :) - do work on
Shorewall itself.
Thanks Tom, you are doing an excellent job!

Regards,
Simon
