Package: iptables Version: 1.8.2-3 Severity: normal Hi,
Shouldn't the iptables packages Provides ebtables and arptables now that it ships these executables as well? AFAICS, the implementation shipped in iptables are providing the same functionalities and parameters are the one shipped in their respective packages. In the end it might be a good idea to remove the other packages as well as the two versions/implementations are providing the same features. What do you think?
