saving iptables rules?

[Ralph Crongeyer <ralph@crongeyer.com>]

How does one save iptables rules in Debian "Unstable/SID"? I've tried 
iptables-save and get some output with no errors, but when I reboot all 
my rules are gone? Is there a "Debian way" of doing this? Rather than 
write my own startup script I want to find out if there's a standard way 
of doing this. I haven't been successful looking on GOOGLE.

Thanks.
