Confirmed: this way ebtables overwrites the iptables diversion.

Confirmed: iptables should divert /sbin/ebtables*, and having two 
different commands with the same name in the $PATH is broken with or
without merged-/usr.

But while the bug is in iptables I will make usrmerge conflict with 
ebtables: since ebtables is deprecated this should cause less problems 
for users.

I would really appreciate if the iptables maintainer could comment about 
this bug.
