(In case anybody else reading d-l-e is confused, the minissdpd/
templates passed through here in March, miniupnpd got processed back
in 2013.)

I've lost track of what has changed here, but it all looks okay.

Ah, that last paragraph is new.
That's probably "if you don't block any" (talking about an ongoing
current policy rather than the past event of configuring it).
Does "forward traffic" mean "forwarded traffic"? (Not that you're
forwarding it exactly if it's being blocked, but it's blocked traffic
on that chain...) Probably this could be just:
This option is useless if you don't block any IPv6 forwarded traffic.
