Control: retitle -1 Docker.io breaks libvirt/qemu bridge network

Please review the package's postinst script to convince yourself that the 
Debian docker.io package does not ship any firewall rules:

https://salsa.debian.org/go-team/packages/docker/-/blob/master/debian/docker.io.postinst?ref_type=heads

However, the docker.io package does indeed manipulate iptables rules to provide 
container isolation. This is a well-known and documented feature at 
https://docs.docker.com/network/packet-filtering-firewalls/

The particular issue that you are experiencing is probably  described best at 
https://serverfault.com/questions/963759/docker-breaks-libvirt-bridge-network. 
That article also container an detailed description on why this is actually a 
feature and how to work around it.

On a personal note, consider installing the 'podman-docker' package instead of 
the 'docker.io' package, this might be sufficient depending on your use-case.

I'm leaving this bug open as I'm not the regular maintainer of the docker.io 
package. Probably this should be documented in the README.md file or similar.

Happy Holidays,
