Nice! And how is the user supposed to avoid installing a firewall with
all those dependencies if he does not need it (ie if the firewall
functions are handled by another device in the LAN?)? I see no sense
having a firewall with all dependencies on all my machines in the LAN
when there is a dedicated device/pc for this function. So why not
leave that to the summary (or an extra question) during installer and
then install the necessary packages according to the answer (yes or
no)?
