Bug Description

The iptables package in Ubuntu already made the switch but it was reverted in LP: #1843468 due to breaking reverse dependencies and software not packaged in the Ubuntu Archive.

The switch of the default backend is also a preparation for making the nftables frontend to be the preferred tool for interfacing the Netfilter framework, thus please Recommend: it.

Inclusion of the nftables package in main is traced at LP: #1887187.

I've prepared a Bileto ticket for staging and testing the packages which need to be changed:
https://bileto.ubuntu.com/#/ticket/4044

The updated package break any package or project, please mark them affected and/or leave a commend in this bug.

Can you please merge 1.8.5 from Debian along switching to -nft?
1.8.4 still has some bugs with -nft, which are fixed in 1.8.5.
Thanks
