Nice!  You would be the best person to ask about a problem I had with 
the Debian repositories.

4.0.* is in Stable, 4.2.* is in Testing, 4.4.* is in Unstable.

However, in Unstable, I couldn't install 4.4 from Debian.  It depended 
on "shorewall" which is not available.  This is because "shorewall" is 
an alias to "shorewall-shell", and as we know, the shellscript version 
of Shorewall no longer exists, as of 4.4.  It's the Perl version, or 
nothing.  I think aptitude was getting a little confused, as it could 
not resolve the conflict without removing Shorewall entirely.

I'm glad to see 4.4.1, the latest Shorewall version, is already in the 
Debian packages repository, though.  Any hint on getting it working? 
Should I edit my sources.list file and/or delete some old Shorewall 
packages?
