You must have misread or misunderstood my message, because the point I
was making was that the point of a firewall was not just to protect you
from the things you *know* are listening, but the scenarios I outline
where you have things happening you *don't* know about.

Yes, we'd need an inter-package scheme for opening service ports when
packages were installed (or services enabled, a subtle distinction). I
outline a high-level approach to that in my last email to this thread (a
reply to Joe).
