[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#973990: #973990: recap

[Jeremy Sowden]

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.
