Bug#868015: knockd does not start after system reboot

[Jon Forsberg]

Affected me as well. Debian Buster. Can be dangerous when working with a
remote server!

Bug#868015: knockd does not start after system reboot

[Rob]

This three year old bug impacted me also on a fresh Debian Buster. The 
patch provided by Steven Shiau  seems to have done 
the trick. This bug would have locked me out of a server if 
netfilter-persistent were working as expected.
