So, I had a quick look at iptables 1.8.4.

upstream still installs a libiptc.pc and

./usr/include/libiptc
./usr/include/libiptc/xtcshared.h
./usr/include/libiptc/libxtc.h
./usr/include/libiptc/libip6tc.h
./usr/include/libiptc/libiptc.h
./usr/include/libiptc/ipt_kernel_headers.h

They did drop the libiptc.so though.
My recommendation is to simply drop libiptc0 but keep libiptc-dev.

No changes to packages are necessary this way.
If you drop the libiptc.pc, then this will cause quite a few packages to
FTBFS.

Regards,
Michael
