OK, tried, and I didn't note any effect...

Yup, that's a significant point. I have to think about it a few days.
I'm aware that Marc Merlin has some very nice .debs.

Actually, my workstation is also on Debian Woody, I haven't used MS OSes
in years. But it is currently behind a firewall, so there is no way I
can get to it from the outside, and since this rule is effective only
on things originating non-locally, that's what's stopping me... :-) For
the things I'm doing on a webserver, the situation is very different,
because I can test the server locally.
Best,
