I do not keep track of the Ubuntu releases, but I know that they go through an import freeze, where packages are imported from Debian only by exception.

In the pre-4.4 package structure, the shorewall package was a dummy package that depended on shorewall-shell. That was primarily so that people upgrading from old releases where shorewall was the old shell-based compiler, would not encounter a forced upgrade to the perl-based compiler. Nowadays, the shorewall package has been transformed so that it is the perl-based compiler. So, on a new Debian installation (Squeeze or Sid), if you run 'apt-get install shorewall' you will end up with the perl-based compiler, as the shell-based compiler is not available in 4.4.
