Iain and Adam confirmed on IRC that this is fine, and splitting out
shared libraries into separate binary packages is good packaging
practice either way.

Title:
FFE: split out libiptc library
Status in iptables package in Ubuntu:
In Progress
Bug description:
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 (and there it is a bug fix as it
unbreaks the default machinectl configuration and nspawn with -n), 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.
