Public bug reported: A lot of changes have happened in 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 in the netfilter code. A lot of new features are available. We're still building iptables against a piece of code from 2.6.12, so even if we upgrade iptables per bug #40601 we'll be missing a lot of new stuff. If we do this, we should also use a newer patch-o-matic than the 20050618 tarball that's currently in the source package. If we upgrade, the following netfilter.org projects should also be packaged, to take advantage of new features:
