Wrong. The kernel shipped in Debian does provide firewalling capabilities. Also, the iptables package is part of the default installation (Priority: standard)

No, right. There is no configuration provided, making them effectively
unavailable even if installed. A good implementation would be something

user can do it if they know how" isn't the same as "installed by
default".
