Legacy iptables doesn't accept -4 or -6 if they don't match the
symlink's native family. The only exception to that is iptables-restore
which simply ignores the lines introduced by non-matching options, which
is useful to create combined dump files for feeding into both
iptables-restore and ip6tables-restore.
