This header statement exists even in legacy ebtables repo' version. I fear the opposite is the case and everyone's rather copying from ebtables or iptables just to provide /etc/ethertypes without depending on the tools. My local Gentoo install at least has /etc/ethertypes exactly as in ebtables repo and the package source states "File extracted from the iptables tarball". Maybe we're the original source?
