Public bug reported:

I would like to get iptables merged from sid. 1.6.0-3
(https://tracker.debian.org/news/788344) split out the libiptc library
so that it doesn't drag in the full 4 MB of "iptables". With this we can
finally enable libiptc support in systemd [1] so that nspawn containers
with a private network will finally have working network (this needs to
set up masquerading).

For iptables this is just a package split without actual new features.
For systemd this only affects nspawn, not LXC/LXD or other container
solutions. So overall this is a low-risk change. But without the package
split we would enlarge the base system by ~ 4 MB.

Note: My main concern is to keep the systemd package in sync with
Debian. Disabling iptc support in Ubuntu would be the only (and
annoying) packaging delta.
