Or use a 64bit iptables package, wich does not offcially exist in 
Debian yet. 

This is indeed an odd problem, and I dont think there will be a 32bit 
interface for iptables in the near future like it exists for alsa
for example. 

Maybe this bug should be reassigned as a wishlist against iptables 
requesting a 64bit package for i386, or closed at all since this is 
not a kernel bug, but the effect of missing support on the userland 
side.

Any suggestions?

Kind regards
