Package: nftables
Version: 0.7-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer, since with recent kernel ct helpers are not automatic, it is
required to manually assign them via firewall.

With current combination of nftables and kernel in Debian stretch the approach
to setting helpers documented upstream is not supported: 
https://wiki.nftables.org/wiki-nftables/index.php/Setting_packet_connection_tracking_metainformation

So there seem to be no viable nftables analogs to iptables constructs like 
these:
iptables -t raw -A PREROUTING -i lan0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1723 -j CT --helper 
pptp

Or at least no documentation available on how to do it, which is bad since
migration to nftables is encouraged in stretch.
