There are some gramatical errors in the nufw description.
Description: a per-user firewalling daemon that interfers with libipq
^^^^^^^^^
interfaces?
Surely you don't mean "interferes", but that's the first thing I

Therefor this package should also Build-Depend: on libiptables-dev, no? It is
certainly linking with it [0].
