BINGO - me idiot! But I was kind of taken off track by the fact that dhcpd3
worked ... adding 'dhcp' to the proper entry in /etc/shorewall/interfaces
solved the problem - could have figured that out on my own!

Thanks for those! Just one question: '192.168.0.3' in this context just
defines the subnet to use, no? So would '192.168.0.0' work as well?
Thanks for the amazingly fast rescue by the MAN himself! Keep at the good
Debianing - please!
