Hi Michael, Thank you for the bug report. It makes sense to have the firewall as down for as short a time as possible. I believe that it's going to take (2) new revisions of firehol packages to accomplish this, since the prerm shipped with 2.0.2+ds-1 will still "stop" the firewall during an upgrade (see [1]). In any event, the first upload has been sponsored. (Thank you Jerome.) Cheers, tony [1] https://wiki.debian.org/MaintainerScripts
