The recent archive reorganisations seem to have sabotaged my
scripts for generating nice patches against Unstable packages from my
Stable desktop. Let's see if I remember how to do it manually.

"Send them to me" and "don't send any" aren't the only options; it's
also possible that I would like to receive them but it's my job to set
it up so that they go to some other guy...

Hyphenate "low-level" here too (to distinguish it from "a low level
marsh").
> "new generation" may sound weird in 5 years..:-). Let's be factual
To me it already seems cheeky, given that Zorp's changelog goes back
to the twentieth century. But is there any such thing as a
non-network firewall? The phrase I'd recommend to pad it back out
again is the search-term I'd have used: "application-layer".
Then saying it's a firewall twice seems clumsy... and when I look
closer I realise that it also says twice that it works via proxying...
I'll reshuffle it until it works again.
Description: Zorp low-level functions
Zorp is an application-layer firewall using a modular architecture of
strict protocol-analyzing transparent proxies, giving fine-grained
control over the mediated traffic. Configuration decisions are
scriptable in the Python-based configuration language.
.
This package contains low-level library functions needed by Zorp and
associated programs.

Of course this would be more useful if we standardised the actual zorp
source package as well as just this one... and in fact later
descriptions seem to tread on the toes of (e.g.) libzorp0-dev. Oh,
and two of those synopses are identical.
So extra changes in other package descriptions:

The Inevitable Why-The-Name Appendix:
"Zorp" appears to be an arbitrary nonsense-syllable, and not (as one
might have guessed) the Hungarian for "zonealarm".
