Bug Description

Binary package hint: ufw

In before6.rules:
-A ufw6-before-input -s ff00::/8 -j ACCEPT
-A ufw6-before-input -d ff00::/8 -j ACCEPT

Most systems would only need (http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-multicast-addresses):

-A ufw6-before-input -p icmpv6 -s ff00::1/8 -j ACCEPT
-A ufw6-before-input -p icmpv6 -d ff00::1/8 -j ACCEPT

-A ufw6-before-input -p icmpv6 -s ff00::2/8 -j ACCEPT
-A ufw6-before-input -p icmpv6 -d ff00::2/8 -j ACCEPT

    we don't use the extra information anyway (LP: #289906)
  * fix translations for input strings (LP: #302426)
  * update ucf md5sums for before.rules and before6.rules
