Works as expected. Thanks!
I only tested "shorewall" for the moment, but I saw that the patch does
not contain Shorewall{6,6-lite}. Did you forget those or when releasing,
will they use the installer from shorewall{,-lite}?

Let me try to explain:
Systemd tries to avoid running scripts. From Wikipedia [1]:

But shorewall-init doesn't just call "/sbin/$PRODUCT stop". Before doing
that, it will make sure that $STATEDIR/firewall exists (see init.sh's
setstatedir() function, which will be called in shorewall_start();
Debian, Fedora, SuSE... are all doing that in
shorewall-init-4.5.20-RC1.tar.bz2 for example). Right?
So we have to use a wrapper script, which will be called from systemd.
Now the question is, where do we want place that script? It seems
something like "/usr/libexec/$PACKAGENAME/$PACKAGENAME.init" is
preferred (for shorewall-init:
"/usr/libexec/shorewall-init/shorewall-init.init").
To install such a script, we need an addition variable in shorewallrc,
don't we? Well, there is already "LIBEXECDIR" but I am not sure if we
can use it for this purpose.
Additional, we would need support in installer.sh for something like
SYSSTEMSCRIPT, don't we?
I hope it is now clear what I was trying to say.
