While your question seems to have been answered, it's worth pointing
out: packages in unstable are known to break, and developers
frequently aren't subscribed to debian-user. If you're going to run
unstable, you should definitely be prepared to submit bugs when things
break, and otherwise use the Debian bug-tracking system; see
http://bugs.debian.org/. You should also definitely be subscribed to
debian-devel-announce, which is low-traffic and gets announcements
about important things generally relating to the release cycle and
occasionally unstable packages. You should also consider subscribing
to debian-devel, which is high-traffic but gets lots of notification
and discussion about important things in unstable breaking (e.g. libc
and perl).
In this case, your problem is in the BTS as bug #160010; see
http://bugs.debian.org/iptables or http://bugs.debian.org/160010.
