Debian 4.0 has all I need including iptables and tc, but _not_ L7 filter 
or ipp2p :-(

You should look into Zeroshell, which has L7 (haven't tried it)
http://linuxdevices.com/news/NS9446520379.html
http://www.zeroshell.net/eng

Shorewall appears to have ipp2p (but apparently not L7?)

and it looks like there are add ons to IPCop.

It is sad it is not easier... I looked into L7 etc. and ended up 
deciding that is is such an imperfect way of classifying data that it is 
better (for me at least) to instead choose a different policy - 
prioritize ssh, VOIP and web by port and then prevent each host from 
hogging more than their fair share of the total bandwidth.

But e.g. DD-WRT (embedded distro for wireless routers like the WRT54GL) 
seems to do a quite good job of it (with L7).

sincerely,
Nicolas
