?I just saw that you already has iptables's packaging under pkg-netfilter :)

Well, in this case, are you willing to accept a new uploader?

There are some changes to iptables packaging i would like to see
implemented, having a first glance at the current state of the package i
can say at least using BINDNOW (hardening+=all), bumping DH to 10 (using
parallel builds) and making use of "-*Wl*,--as--*needed*?" on d/rules. Oh,
also iptables does not build twice (unless building from the git repo)
because d/clean needs some adjustments.

I already joined the mailing list and applied for pkg-netfilter on alioth.

?Regards,?
