** Description changed:

  I would like to get iptables merged from sid. 1.6.0-3
  (https://tracker.debian.org/news/788344) split out the libiptc library
  so that it doesn't drag in the full 4 MB of "iptables". With this we can
  finally enable libiptc support in systemd [1] so that nspawn containers
  with a private network will finally have working network (this needs to
  set up masquerading).
  
  For iptables this is just a package split without actual new features.
- For systemd this only affects nspawn, not LXC/LXD or other container
- solutions. So overall this is a low-risk change. But without the package
- split we would enlarge the base system by ~ 4 MB.
+ For systemd this only affects nspawn (and there it is a bug fix as it
+ unbreaks the default machinectl configuration and nspawn with -n), not
+ LXC/LXD or other container solutions. So overall this is a low-risk
+ change. But without the package split we would enlarge the base system
+ by ~ 4 MB.
  
  Note: My main concern is to keep the systemd package in sync with
  Debian. Disabling iptc support in Ubuntu would be the only (and
  annoying) packaging delta.
