You need to configure klogd to display messages with loglevels lower
than what your logging with iptables. Any sane firewall shouldnt be
logging these messages lower than KERN_WARNING (4).

To configure klogd the debian (sid) way edit /etc/init.d/klogd and instead of
KLOGD="" use KLOGD="-c 3".

Nifty trick is to log iptables stuff with --log-level debug, then throw
all kern.=debug into a file via syslog. That way you have a nice
firewall log that sits in a file. Dont forget to logrotate.
