[pkg-netfilter-team] Bug#918469: Please Provides ebtables and arptables

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: iptables
Version: 1.8.2-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Shouldn't the iptables packages Provides ebtables and arptables now that
it ships these executables as well?

AFAICS, the implementation shipped in iptables are providing the same
functionalities and parameters are the one shipped in their respective
packages.

In the end it might be a good idea to remove the other packages as well
as the two versions/implementations are providing the same features.

What do you think?

Kind regards,

Laurent Bigonville
