default firewall

["Buchs, Kevin J." <buchs.kevin@mayo.edu>]

The securing debian HowTo ( 
https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch-sec-services.en.html#s-firewall-setup 
), on my reading, suggests there is no default firewall setup on the 
base system, unless a firewall script package is installed or created. 
Is this correct? If not, where are the default firewall settings coming 
from?
