Package: fwbuilder
Version: 2.0.9

The init script supplied with this package 
(/usr/share/doc/fwbuilder-common/examples/fwbuilder.init.d)
cannot start the firewall.

This happens because at line 14 it assumes:

        SCRIPT="$SCRIPT_DIR/$(hostname -s).fw"

and this yields two problems.

Problem 1: on my machine, `hostname -s` returns 'localhost' instead 
of 'example_name'.

Problem 2: this version of fwbuilder calls it's compiled 
firewalls 'example_name Firewall.fw', not 'example_name.fw'

After fixing both problems, the firewall can be started. However detecting the 
first one takes some minutes for advanced users, hours for beginners, and 
forever for most people :).

Conclusion: a better way of detecting the script is needed.
