Clemens: I think a patch that adds xtables-version.h is the cleanest solution. The resulting m_xt.so will be broken because it doesn't link to libiptables but we don't install that right now. If someone wants it we can add the dependency and install the plugin.

Somewhat. The situation is like this: iproute has plugins that are loaded at runtime with dlopen. Some of them need libxtables. So unless these plugins are actually used libxtables is not needed. So libxtables a optional _runtime_ dependency but to build a working plugin its a required _buildtime_ dependency. The current code is rather broken. It has some imported iptables headers (from version 1.6.0), but those are useless because xtables-version.h is missing...

Looking at iproute2 4.6.0-4, it build-depends on iptables-dev though. So maybe only the headers are needed, but not the library?! In the changelog there is: iproute (20121001-2) experimental; urgency=low * Generate recommends for optional module dependencies This makes the optional module dependency on libxtables more visible, to hopefully get iproute rebuilt whenever libxtables bumps soname. Thanks to iptables maintainer for splitting libxtables9 into a separate package in version 1.4.16.3-2. Maybe this is also related?
