I'm OK with it now. It could be prettier when installed with the
noninteractive debconf frontend, though: it currently spits out a
forty-line usage list before failing to start. The exit code is 0,
so #502744 is really fixed and this is just cosmetics.

If you're going to update it once more, you might also want to bump
MXALLOWD_VERSION, as it's still at 1.6a.

Release team: I see a newer upstream version of libnetfilter-queue has
recently been uploaded to unstable. I'm not sure if that's intended to
migrate to lenny; if it isn't, I think mxallowd has to be targeted for
testing-proposed-updates so the autobuilt packages don't pick up the
sid dependency on libnetfilter-queue1 (>= 0.0.15). Is this correct?
