Bug#984570: orphan-sysvinit-scripts: nftables interaction with local iptables script

I'm slightly confused by your report, sorry. Historically nftables did 
have a sysvinit script (though it was removed from the package in a 
previous version).

You installed a version of nftables without a sysvinit script on a 
sysvinit system, and made your own sysvinit script for it that you 
didn't call /etc/init.d/nftables ?

And you installed your nftables config somewhere that wasn't the 
expected location /etc/nftables.conf ?

The init script that used to ship with nftables had the following init info:

# Required-Start:    $local_fs $network $remote_fs $syslog
# Required-Stop:     $local_fs $remote_fs $syslog
# Default-Start:
# Default-Stop:      0 1 2 3 4 5 6
# Short-Description: nftables firewall service
# Description:       nftables firewall system service

Which is not quite the same as the version in orphan-sysvinit-scripts.

Regards,

Matthew
