Package: netbase
Version: 5.0ubuntu1
Severity: wishlist

A growing number [1] of users use Dropbox. Dropbox's LAN sync feature requires
incoming connections to be allowed on TCP port 17500 [2] and is officially
registered with the IANA as db-lsp (Dropbox LanSync Protocol) [3].

I'd like to request that this service be added to /etc/services so that users
can grant a a firewall exception for Dropbox LAN sync by a more human-friendly
name:

    sudo ufw allow db-lsp

This bug was originally reported in Ubuntu as Launchpad bug #1078962 [4].
