I know you solved your issue already, but I just want to comment on the  
packaging behaviour you see.

I don’t believe that your distribution set dependencies right: you should  
be able to install your system without fwaas code at all, it’s meant to be  
a plugin, not a dependency for neutron-server.

Now, it may be the case that due to defaults chosen by debian packages  
default configuration files for the neutron-server service do not work  
unless you also pull in neutron-fwaas. Maybe it’s something historical. But  
ideally, you should be able to run a bare neutron-server with just the code  
from openstack/neutron repo.
