Which is kind of strange. I did an apt-get remove ipchains first, then
installed ipmasq, which worked.
With the following in my /etc/apt/sources.list
deb ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian stable/non-US main contrib non-free
deb ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/debian dists/proposed-updates/
I do
apt-get install ipchains:
Package ipchains has no available version, but exists in the database.
This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and
never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents
of sources.list
E: Package ipchains has no installation candidate
Looking a little deeper, and I really start to get concerned:
apt-cache show netbase:
Depends: tcpd, libc6 (>= 2.1.2), libwrap0
apt-cache show ipchains returns _nothing at all_. Not even an Unable to
locate error.

God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of His
own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the
other players (ie., everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex
version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite
stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the
time.
