Out of curiosity..... was a PLUGger able to meet your original request and 
provide a debian based firewall for you.  Would a few details be available 
if possible?

I've been a user of SmoothWall for sometime and do like its simplicity and 
have even customised it a bit.  I have had ideas of something along the 
lines of a debian based version of SmoothWall for one day when I am really 
smart.  Seems that DebWall is no longer around :(
