Why is the domtrans over shorewall_var_lib_t necessary?  The fact that
shorewall can write and exec them makes it even more dubious.  I see a
comment about # shorewall-init script run /var/lib/shorewall/firewall.
Does shorewall create this script and then the init script runs it?

Yes, the problem is /var/lib/shorewall/firewall file is created on the fly by shorewall.
