With a whitelist which only allows TCP or unencrypted UDP that would be
easy, yes. Are real whitelists used against Tor?

In this pure F2F mode is similar to hidden bridges in Tor, yes. If you
want to escape IP blacklisting, you can create a pure F2F node and
connect that to a hybrid node (Opennet + F2F). That way the pure F2F
node will not have its IP exposed without full traffic analysis
(blocking everyone who communicates with known Freenet nodes — but this
method would block Tor as well).

So a .deb which just installs Freenet with all its dependencies provided
in freenet-ext.jar just like the standalone installer does it?

That’s strange — do you mean this URL?
https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=mirrorer/reprepro.git%3ba=blob_plain%3bhb=HEAD%3bf=docs/short-howto

It just gives me

    404 - No such project
