Agrees, the '/etc/init.d/network' should only contain the actual network
up/down thingies, why not have a generic '/etc/init.d/firewall' that can be
started manually or if, in the install procedure:

(pseudocode)
if( computer_is_on_network) {
  echo 'Is it a router?'
  input computer_is_router
  if( computer_is_router ) {
    // Make sure we start '/etc/init.d/firewall' at boot...
    ( extra code here... :)
  }
}
