I was wondering if a similar fix was required in iptables & ebtables.

In the case of iptables:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg-iptables/-/commit/5b0b40839fbc18eb71130947ed76527b7caccdd1

That code was dropped a few years ago.

However, in the case of ebtables:

https://salsa.debian.org/pkg-netfilter-team/pkg-ebtables/-/blob/master/debian/ebtables.postinst#L20

The same code is present.

In all cases, we need a similar fix for prerm as well, see:
