Dear release team, thanks for your awesome work with Debian. I really appreciate it. In debian stretch/sid, we currently have iptables 1.6.0+snapshot20161117-5. Upstream has released iptables 1.6.1, but by the time of the upstream release I had no time to upload to unstable due to our freeze and the 10 days testing migration delay. I, hereby, ask for permission to upload iptables 1.6.1 to unstable targeting debian stretch. This request is previous to any effort by my side to package this new upstream release, so I have no debdiff or the like. However, I have counted that our package is ~17 commits behind the upstream code. There are no hidden interests in this request. Please, decide according to your needs and the needs of Stretch.
