Thanks Tom and Tuomo for the confirmation.
I will use thus the same strategy, run upgrade after update. 

@Tuomo, did you apply this unconditionnally even for minor update ?

@Tom I will try to find a still running old shorewall with nat file (but not 
sure there's still one using that) and recheck the upgrade process with 
dumping shorewall state before after.
