Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.6.1-3
Severity: wishlist

fwstart/end are variables set to commands to setup/teardown/check
the iptables chains.

I can override each variable for subsection, so that it's e.g.
possible to use a different command sequence for apache rules, and
another for SSH.

What I am missing is a common base. Would it be possible to add
fwstart_after and fwend_before, which are called only if defined, so
that I can customise the rules for each section?

The reason is quite simply that I need a per-section whitelist,
which is already in iptables (so I cannot use ignoreip). Of course
I can add a rule

  iptables -I %(fwchain)s -j whitelist-%(__name__)s

into the existing fwstart/fwend, but I'd much rather not touch the
defaults.
