Bug description:
Binary package hint: ufw

Hi,

As per this document (https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html), the user has to modify ufw's configuration files directly ("First, packet forwarding needs to be enabled in ufw. Two configuration files will need to be adjusted, in /etc/default/ufw change the DEFAULT_FORWARD_POLICY to “ACCEPT”"). The gufw package (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gui-ufw) does just that.

However, this conflicts with the Debian rules, which says that a program can't touch another's conffiles unless the main one gives it permission to (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4). Could ufw please give gufw permission to ufw them?
