if you take a look at the script, /etc/init.d/iptables looks like it is
attempting to save rules in /var/lib/iptables.

the bare utility iptables-save just dumps the rules to standard input
and you redirect its output to any file you choose, and iptables-restore
reads in a saved ruleset from the file you specify.
