BTW, I have reworded this:

"The tables "dying" and "unconfirmed" are basically only useful for
debugging purposes.  Under normal operation, it is hard to see entries
in any of them.  There are corner cases, where it is valid to see
entries in the unconfirmed table, eg. when packets that are enqueued
via nfqueue, and the dying table, eg. when conntrackd runs in event
reliable mode."

Actually, you can see entries in the dying table when conntrackd
reliable event mode is on, instead of the unconfirmed table.

Sorry about that.
