libiptc0, libip4tc0 and libip6tc0 don't need a Replaces & Breaks
with iptables, given the library files were moved to multi-arch paths
(so there is no file conflict with the old iptables package).

The -dev packages are different, because they have conflicting paths with
the old iptables-dev package.

Michael Biebl says:
 <<
 please consider lowering the priority of the library packages to
 optional. I know lintian will complain about that not being policy
 compliant, but I think installing libraries because of their priority is
 a stupid idea (and discussion is currently ongoing to fix the debian
 policy in that regard).

To allow transitions from iptables-dev to the libiptc split.
Reported-by: Michael Biebl <biebl@debian.org>
Signed-off-by: Arturo Borrero Gonzalez <arturo.borrero.glez@gmail.com>

There are several little things to fix in the libiptc package split to get
it completed:
 * adjust break/depends
 * distribute usr/include/libiptc/libiptc.h
 * dropped the breaks: linux-libc-dev (<< 3.5), this was added for a file
   conflict regarding /usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_queue.h, which
   is no longer shipped by the library packages.

There are no specific manpages for the -compat tools right now.

Writting such manpages is something I would like to discuss with upstream.
I think the best sollution by now is to simply redirect users to the originals.
For this, a dependency with the original tools is required.

It should be noted that such a dependency is not weird, since its very likely
that users of the iptables-nftables-compat package are triying to migrate
their ruleset, so they need the original tools anyway.
