Hello Matthias,

thank you for this patch - removing the remains of ALGs has been on my to-do list as well... :-)

I agree with the changes you propose to the firewall initscript. However, there are still some ALG-related
configuration files left, and we continue to ship the corresponding kernel modules.

While the latter might be worth a separate patch as soon as Linux 5.10 landed in IPFire 2.x, cleaning
up the rest of ALG bits and pieces as much as we can makes sense to me.

Acked-by: Peter Müller <peter.mueller(a)ipfire.org>

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller
