Hey Nish, Thanks for your quick and very helpful response. That clears up some of the confusion. In this case, we'll probably go ahead with building our own package, or directly from upstream.
One thing though; On 2018-11-27 at 03:31 AEDT+1100, quoth Nish Aravamudan: > Finally, note that if/when iptables is merged in the Disco cycle, it will > move to 1.8.2-based, most likely, as that is the version in Debian unstable > currently. That's fine, anything after 1.6.2 contains the feature / fix we're after (you're right, it's more of a feature, because it exposes a kernel option that previously wasn't available). Do you have any visibility on whether iptables will be upgraded in Disco? I'm not asking for guarantees, just out of curiosity :). Does it depend on when Debian promotes it to testing or stable?
