Lorenzo originally packaged the -lite products as he was the package
maintainer at the time.  I was incorrect when I said "I packaged" as
Lorenzo made the first few changelog entries.

I'm not sure about his rationale for the dependencies.  I know for
certain that the packages as far back as 5 years ago (4.4.1) weren't
using the install.sh installer since I had migrated from Lorenzo's
packages which used some custom .install files in the debian/ directory
to get the files where they needed to be.  His shorewall package did the
same, and so I imagine that he just followed the same pattern.

I did update the package at some point to take advantage of install.sh,
but the issue of a dependency on shorewall-core never came up.

Do I need to have the -lite packages depend on shorewall-core?  I am
surprised that no bug reports have every been reported on this issue.

Regards,

-Roberto
