Hi there! as maybe you already know, nftables has been merged into linux, scheduled for release with kernel 3.13 [0]. There is a how-to [1] to test it.
nftables includes a compatibility layer, that allows a painless migration from iptables to nftables. nftables also features an API, called libnftables [2]. This API adds some interesting features to build other apps in top of it. This software is a major upgrade in the Linux world, and I think that when the times arrives, Debian should adapt to nftables. I haven't heard any word in Debian about nftables, so I just wanted to comment it here, I case you missed something. Best regards.
