mentions for 2.0.10-1 release:

* incorporate fixes for possible issues found by Coverity analysis 
(thanks to Jiri Popelka)
* extend ebt_ip6 to allow matching on ipv6-icmp types/codes (by Florian 
Westphal)

The first item is a fix which might have security implications and the
second item would be really helpful when securing a debian
system running virtual machines with IPv6 enabled, for example
to prevent ICMPv6 spoofing.
