[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#540123: is this a violation of policy since iptables is open during dhcp?

thankyou

On my laptop I used if-pre-up.d to restrict iptables to dhcp
and if-post-down.d to keep iptables restricted until after
the interface goes down.  I often see martian packets logged
during dhcp by setting the flag file, and without a
restricted firewall run first in if-pre-up.d, this is when
iptables is still wide open.

Is this a violation of policy since it forces you to have an
open firewall during address association, or is there some
new way to achieve what I've been trying to package up?
