I very much agree with the above, the only issue is enough time to put
these warning in place. Maybe some text in a NEWS or README.Debian file
could do the trick. I'm not so fan of adding debconf text for such a
warning.

Just configure Neutron. The doc from Red Hat seems to cover it well:
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-enterprise-linux-openstack-platform/7/paged/networking-guide/chapter-16-configure-firewall-as-a-service-fwaas
Basically, you just use the "normal" neutron-l3-agent, and configure
neutron.conf with:
service_plugins = neutron.services.firewall.fwaas_plugin.FirewallPlugin
I hope this helps,
Cheers,
