Package: iptables
Version: 1.3.6.0debian1-5
Severity: minor

Iptables on "lenny" still seems to include the old NAT-HOWTO and 
packet-filtering howtos for kernel 2.4 series.

Since Lenny won't support 2.4 anymore, this docs are not relevant and even 
misleading (it *seems* iptables includes proper 
documentation when that's not the case).

I'd wish to log this with higher priority since I'm one of those that think 
that software without proper documentation is 
(almost) as broken as if it has functional issues, but I understand others 
won't feel the same.

Proposed course of action is:
1) See if there are more recent versions of those HOWTOs relevant to kernel 2.6 
and, if so, include them on Lenny.
2) If that's not the case, fill a bug against HOWTOs' upstream maintainer and 
DELETE them from Lenny: I think that's a better 
output than current situation.
