Many thanks Justin - systemctl enable shorewall fixed it. Nice to have
such a simple solution!
Thanks also Matt. At a glance I might be able to use [1] to get sshd and
apache2 to start, but that's for tomorrow.
(Yes, should have been /var/log/shorewall-init.log. Nothing added on
booting until shorewall started manually, until which shorewall status
said stopped.)

As before, this is running under Linux Mint (Ubuntu-based), and this time I
installed Shorewall from the standard repository for the distro (perhaps
that was my mistake?) It's failing to start on boot even though I have
STARTUP_ENABLED=Yes in my shorewall.conf.
You should determine if shorewall is *trying* to start and failing, or
if systemd is not configured to start it.
$ sudo systemctl status shorewall
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/shorewall.service; enabled; vendor preset:
enabled)
Also, I was surprised to find that /etc/systemd/system/shorewall.service
didn't exist.
Maybe you need to run:
systemctl enable shorewall
