This has been fixed in sid but not in wheezy. :(

In sid, the dependency on libxtables9 avoids trouble:

 $ cupt show connman/sid | egrep 'Version|Depends|Conflicts|Breaks'
 Version: 1.0-1.2
 Depends: libc6 (>= 2.9), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.28.0), libgnutls26 (>= 2.12.17-0), libxtables9, dbus, lsb-base

In wheezy, there is instead an unversioned dependency on iptables,
which is not enough to ensure the correct shared library is present:

 $ cupt show connman/wheezy | egrep 'Version|Depends|Conflicts|Breaks'
 Version: 1.0-1.1+wheezy1
 Depends: iptables, libc6 (>= 2.9), libdbus-1-3 (>= 1.1.1), libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.28.0), libgnutls26 (>= 2.12.17-0), dbus, lsb-base

Fixing this properly would presumably require an iptables update in
testing (either bumping shlibs or, better, backporting the
introduction of a separate libxtables9 package from sid) followed by a
binnmu.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
