So split networkd into stand-alone package, and enable iptables-dev
dependency. It's not enabled by default service, is it? Thus should
not be installed together with init, given the deps it wants / pulls
in. And from the bug reports there is clearly demand for full
functionality to be available from networkd. Looks like win-win,
minimal install is kept minimal, yet optional component is fully
featured.
