I think there may be some confusion about where the problem lies with this bug. Let me summarize my understanding.
The original bug-report was created against shorewall because shorewall had stopped working: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973990#5 However, Vincas Dargis, the reporter, observed that shorewall worked with Linux 5.8 and did not with 5.9 and proposed #972454 as the culprit: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973990#15 On that basis, I reassigned the report to xtables-addons and closed it, since Linux 5.9 support was added in a later version of xtables-addons: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=973990#26 However, the bug was reopened by Vincas because even with the latest version of xtables-addons (3.23-1), shorewall is still not working correctly. I believe, therefore, that the failure of xtables-addons to build with Linux 5.9 was merely coincidental, and so we can rule out it as the cause of the bug and should assign the bug back to shorewall.
