[Pkg-libvirt-maintainers] Bug#918472: Please remove Recommends against ebtables

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: libvirt-daemon-system
Version: 4.10.0-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

Recent versions of the iptables package is shipping a ebtables
executable.

This executable seems to provide the same parameters as the one shipped
in the "ebtables" package.

IMHO, that recommends can now be removed as the executable will be
present by pulling the iptables package which is a hard dependency.

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
