Public bug reported:

There is no package for fwknop and fwknopd

fwknop stands for the "FireWall KNock OPerator", and implements an
authorization scheme called Single Packet Authorization (SPA). This
method of authorization is based around a default-drop packet filter
(fwknop supports both iptables on Linux systems and ipfw on FreeBSD and
Mac OS X systems) and libpcap.

AFAICS this is has to be splitted like openssh-client and openssh-
server, it provides a great security enhancement for server admins, as
they can have certain ports closed while not in use and only open them
when needed, like ssh access or web-ui access to raid-controllers .
