The only changes in the rest of the packages are the changes resulting from the change in version number. That is, it is about as invasive as an updated translation or updated documentation. While technically it is possible to have shorewall6 4.4.11.3-1 installed alongside shorewall 4.4.11.4-1, it will likely result in confusion for users. Upstream always releases all the packages as a group, and anyone who uses Shorewall outside of Debian will always get them together as a group with the same version number. And it is has also been that way with the official Debian packages for quite some time. I encourage you to reconsider and permit the rest of the packages into testing. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
