The one problem I had was quickly solved on the shorewall-users mailing list, and even that problem could have been sorted by me RTFMing a bit more than I had.
Okay so thanks for this valuable hint, I was simply coming back to this existing thread on the opensuse ml which spoke about some lackings of opensuse to work with shorewall. Now that you are reporting that you managed to run it on leap, i will try as well as soon as possible. Which shorewall version and in what technical ways did you install on your leap? What do they speak about leap and shorewall on the shorewall lists? Thanks for helping.
I'm using shorewall 4.6 from the openSUSE OSS repo, installed using zypper. I followed the examples online and in the man pages to setup the various scripts (policy, zones, interfaces, rules etc). No one commented on the fact that I'm using Leap when I posted my question, even though I included that information.
