That comes over as rude. Perhaps you didn't mean to make it sound that
way and failed to realise the question was not really directed at you?

That's definitely rude. You are in the wrong place for spelling flames.
Incidentally, shorewall has had 'startup=0' since Lenny at least. You
probably forgot that you must have altered the default sometime in the
past and didn't think the README in /usr/share/doc worth a glance.
Also, /etc/default/shorewall is a conffile so if indeed the upgrade
replaced it you could be looking at a bug.
