That version of Shorewall had a packaging bug such that it wouldn't
start on boot on systems running systemd.

What is the output of `apt-cache policy systemd`?  If it reports
something in the version field for "Installed", then look at the output
of `systemctl is-enabled shorewall`.  If that spits out "disabled" then
you can turn it on with `systemctl enable shorewall` and it will start
on boot as you would expect.
