Is this correspond to others experiences?  Has this script been replaced
with a
different mechanism for starting iptables at boot time?
 

The script has been superceded: I've not discovered by what: I'm not 
interested. The author clearly wasn't happy with it.

Since you're asking I guess, like me, you're not entirely comfortable 
with rolling your own.

I'm using shorewall on some Woody boxes. I just installed it on Sarge 
and decided it's going to take well over five minutes to configure. 
There _is_ a webmin module for it; I've not looked at it yet though.

There are also other firewall packages: fwbuilder comes to mind.
