Dear Maintainer,

The debian wiki notes that debian is moving from iptables to nftables, and the 
nftables page suggests installing this package.  So I did.  Unfortunately, I 
did so via an ssh connection, as the computer in question is a headless router. 
 As soon as aptitude quit I was booted from the system.  I therefore needed to 
find a keyboard and monitor, and cables, to hook up to this somewhat antiquated 
system in order to fix the problem.

Please give a warning somewhere that before installing, a person should have 
physical access to the machine.  Even better would be a debconf wrapper to 
allow configuration before the default completely nukes everything.
