Totally agree, and I wanted to thank you for the work you’re doing on backporting iptables, it’s appreciated and really helpful (for instance, without this I wouldn’t be able to run Kubernetes on Buster). >> This makes `iptables` un-upgradable on my system, and even worse, it >> lead to it being removed an I cannot install it anymore: >> > this is because the apt pin config you have for the package...

I really need iptables to be installed from backports and this is the only way I found to do so (appart from running `apt install -t buster-backports iptables` by hand) -- Johan Fleury
