I mean, the package will be uploaded and maintained. But no talk happened about what means having nftables in Debian. I think the following points may be interesting: * in which state/shape is the nftables framework? * what about the iptables and the compat layer? The next upstream release of iptables will, by default, use the nf_tables kernel subsystem. * what about a standard firewall service (like other distros do). iptables also lacks of it. * Some bugs happened in the Debian kernel package, and the kernel currently in Jessie comes without nf_tables enabled [0]. Thanks for your interest Frank. I would like to hear suggestions, comments and ideas. regards.
