Hello, LTS people.

I am wondering whether such intended review and maintenance, also
applies to firestarter.

I believe that firestarter was abandoned by its
devleopers/maintainers, when it was still in Debian 5, and

https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=firestarter&searchon=names&suite=all&section=all

shows

"
You have searched for packages that names contain firestarter in all
suites, all sections, and all architectures. Found 1 matching
packages.

Exact hits

Package firestarter
squeeze (oldstable) (admin): gtk program for managing and observing
your firewall
1.0.3-8: amd64 armel i386 ia64 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips

sid (unstable) (admin): GTK program for managing and observing your firewall

"

So it seems to be something to which "security issues" would likely be
applicable, for Debian 6 LTS, and for Debian 7, and, thus suggests
that review and maintenance of firestarter, would be an appropriate
activity for the LTS project, in the absence of otherwise review and
maintenace of firestarter.
