firehol as a target for volatile



Hi folks, 

firehol, a frontend for iptables, includes some a variable of reserved IPs.
These IPs are provided by the IANA [1] unfortunatly there ranges are not as
stable as I would wish, they change from time to time. As firehol can block
that comes from reserved networks it gets into trouble if these data is
outdated. I had some reports in the BTS (#357250) that reported real world
package loss due to that problem. As I don't think this should be targeted by
stable uploads volatile seems to be the right place for me. The change would
only be a oneliner (replace the old ranges with the new ones). If nobody has
objections I would provide provide an updated package to volatile. 

Thanks for your work

Alex
