Try reading the full text of what debconf is telling you, it *really IS* important information. iptables init.d setup is completely optional and it is not recommended for use. Accept the default value, "No", and the package will not create any iptables init.d runlevel symlinks and will remove any existing iptables runlevel symlinks. What it is saying is that using the init.d scripts for iptables is not a good thing and not to do that unless you really know what you're doing. Just say no there and apt-get install ipmasq. -- .''`.
