I would like to update iptables-persistent in jessie to fix a minor information
disclosure bug.
This update also takes the opportunity to apply the correct README and install
it for both packages, and update VCS links.

-The Debian Package iptables-persistent
-----------------------------
+netfilter-persistent and its plugins
+------------------------------------
-This is a very simple script that restores the file /etc/iptables/rules.v4 as
-the active ruleset at system boot.
+netfilter-persistent does no work on its own. You need the accompanying
+plugins (for example, iptables-persistent) to load and save filter rules.
-If it exists, IPv6 rules are also restored from /etc/iptables/rules.v6
+However, commands are run from netfilter-persistent. For example, to save
+all filter rules:
-Loading of rules is guaranteed to happen before network interfaces are
-brought up.
+ netfilter-persistent save
-To save the current ruleset, use "iptables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v4"
-or "ip6tables-save >/etc/iptables/rules.v6", or
-"invoke-rc.d iptables-persistent save"
+or to load them:

- -- Jonathan Wiltshire <jmw@debian.org> Thu, 30 Dec 2010 00:00:00 +0000
+ netfilter-persistent start
+
+For more details, see `man netfilter-persistent`.
+
+The system service will try to load rules at startup if enabled, but by
+default it will not flush rules at shutdown. This behaviour can be changed
+by editing /etc/default/netfilter-persistent.
