Actually this isn't as bad as I first thought, but it can be. Let me
illustrate how/why.

iptables changed its -dev packaging.
Then strongswan adapted by changing iptables-dev to libip4tc-dev + libip6tc-dev.

If strongswan would have stayed as-is it woul still work. But due to
adapting to the former change in 1.8.4-1 for debian #939243 it now after
1.8.4-2 for #947176 is an FTBFS.

While we could merge the newer iptables in general (therefore leaving
this bug open, but change to 1.8.4 merge request) I think I can fix the
current issue in strongswan by adding a build-dependency to get the old
libiptc.pc installed.

Yep gets me back to checking for libiptc... yes

Adding a Strongswan task ...

Bug description:
  Hi,
  I found this by trying to merge a newer strongswan which was an FTFBS.
  I wondered what happened and found:
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=947176

  This is exactly my issue and we might face FTBFS in strongswan,
  systemd and probably others as well.

  The fix seems to be to merge iptables 1.8.4-2 from Debian.
  Could someone usually looking after iptables do that please?
