Thanks for your detailed analysis of this.

If the lp module isn't available, things shouldn't try to load it. However, this default configuration with a stock kernel is acceptable, because lp would be available. The Requires= line dates back from initial conversion to systemd and it's to ensure that necessary modules are available (breaking a dependency loop that gets generated otherwise). I agree that Wants= is probably acceptable, but it is not a fix. It is still possible to end up with a system without any netfilters if the modules required for them are not loaded, because the unit will fail. This will be applied in the next upload and we'll see what happens; I haven't decided whether to backport it to Jessie yet.
