Hmm.  I don't see anything very special about that.  If you're looking for a 
firewall along similar lines to this script, I'd recommend shorewall instead.  
It's not all that different, if you take a while to understand it, and it's 
much more heavily tested and flexible, too.

In terms of a simple, user-level "firewall for ubuntu(/debian)"... Something 
that has hooks for installed packages, so that newly installed packages 
automatically open the necessary ports, would be more like it :)
