Hi,

I like the new PAGER support added in v5.0.6.

However, as package maintainer, I am asking myself if I should set this
to something per default or leave it up to the user.

For example on Gentoo we have `eselect pager` which will set an
environment variable "$PAGER".

Debian/Ubuntu has something similar via `update-alternatives`.

What about having a special variable like "SYSTEMDEFAULT" which will use
whatever $PAGER is set to?

PAGER=              -- No pager
PAGER=SYSTEMDEFAULT -- Use any $PAGER (can be dynamic! Don't hard code
                       its current value into the compiled firewall
                       script)
PAGER=/usr/bin/less -- User specified a specific pager
