Ehn, ipfwadm was deprecated even in the 2.2 series (it was ipfwadm -> 2.0, ipchains -> 2.2, iptables -> 2.4 and above), and we only have one architecture with select subarchitectures even shipping 2.2 kernels for sarge. So it's quite surprising to me that there's still anyone at all using ipfwadm, which provides an inferior interface to the current kernel functionality. I'd really like it if we could drop this package for etch, but I guess that's up to the maintainer. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
