Because ebtables installs a /sbin/ebtables-restore binary and recently 
iptables started managing a /usr/sbin/ebtables-restore diversion.

But I highly doubt that the ebtables nft emulation would still work at 
that point.

iptables should not have started managing /usr/sbin/ebtables-restore 
without coordinaation with ebtables (or else conflicting with it).
I cannot see how this would not be broken even without a merged-/usr 
since systems would have two functionally different ebtables-restore 
programs in different directories.
