Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rtorrent

The default for port_range is "6890-6999". That means that rtorrent does
not use the (old) default port range which you would expect for
bittorrent usage (6881-6889).

The FAQ at http://dessent.net/btfaq/#ports says that 6881-6889 gets used
prior to version 3.2, and that it has been extended to 6881-6999 as of
BitTorrent 3.2.

rtorrent uses the "extended" part only.

Therefor the Bittorrent macro for Shorewall fails, which uses 6881-6889
(I'll file a separate bug about this).

The patch seems quite trivial, but it's not tested:
