Shorewall users - Sep 2003 - Debian & missing common.def file

Hi,
I am running debian sid (unstable) and shorewall-1.4.7b1-1. After the 
install of shorewall I do not have a common.def file in /etc/shorewall. 
Yet this file is needed. Should this file have been installed during the 
instalation of shorewall?
Tks
Chuck

common.def should be shipped with the package it is part of shorewall
and integral part of it i might add.

Thanks for the reply. I thought common.def should have came with the 
package. I installed shorewall once and could not get it to work 
correctly. Then I noticed the missing file. I uninstalled shorewall and 
reinstalled it again. Still no common.def Is this a bug in debian 
shorewall?? If so, how would I file a bug report>

It is present on this Knoppix 3.2 (Debian) Box. 

Shorewall 1.4.5-1

HI,
I am using sid as I stated in my first email. Yes, shorewall worked very 
good for me before I migrated to sid.

As some stated vefore, it should be there as an integral part of
Shorewall.

What I''d think of ist the extension of common.def - .def resembles me
of
some kind of a "DEbian File". I believe there is no such file
extensions, but could it be there is a maintenance task that scans
particular partitions to clean them and eventually collect/remove
garbage files? There are some maintenance tools out there that can do
this. If such a tool is to remove all core dumps, the contents of
/tmp/killme or whatever, it could also be set to "seek & destroy all
.deb files" - for whatever this would be useful.

Just my 0.0.2,
