It has been stated numerous times that userspace programs should not be compiled against raw kernel headers, but iptables does compile against userspace headers and breaks this rule. With the advent of the linux-libc-headers package, should iptables be compiled against the linux-libc-headers or the raw kernel headers since iptables is a user space program?
Should patch-o-matic update the headers in the proper location, /usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4 etc?
