Whatever filtering ipmasq installs by default is *really* nasty to
users who are not actually running masquerading. I lost about two
days hunting it down on a firewall config, and a friend just lost
another two days dealing with a PCMCIA laptop setup (converting over
from redhat, yay :-) before discovering that "dpkg --remove ipmasq"
suddenly made everything work...
I'd recommend having the filter config settings be *disabled* by
default, and have an ipmasqconfig that controls them; that's at least
a simple way to let the package be installed without doing too much
damage, while someone figures out what they really want. It can even
be prompted for in the ipmasq postinst... or maybe you can come up
with a more clever approach - doesn't matter much to me, but as it
stands now it *is* a problem in slink; I haven't looked to see if
potato is safer (if it isn't, perhaps this should be upgraded to
grave, so it doesn't hurt anyone in the next release.)
Thanks for your attention.
