I guess that there are two kinds of "other rules also that match on
L3-L4 parameters that send the traffic to other port":
* Those where you want the other rules to replace the "normal"
action. In that case, trigger the rule and then don't execute
"normal".
* Those where you want the other rules to supplement the "normal"
action. In that case, trigger the rule and include "normal" in
its action list.
