[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#935858: nftables: lacks documentation

Package: nftables
Version: 0.9.1-2~bpo10+1
Severity: important

All of the documentation I have uncovered online completely use
things like,

->  eg, take this nft add rule line
nft add rule inet filter input counter drop

Here there's two problems when trying to do this on Debian.

1) Debian uses "nft add rule ip"  and not "nft add rule inet"

2) Debian uses "INPUT" << capitals for the chain name and not small caps.
  (small caps for the chain name also does not work on Debian's nft)

Debian needs to document these changes in 
/usr/share/doc/nftables/README.Debian
