[Bug 967018] Re: package iptables-persistent 0.5.3ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: ErrorMessage: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Neil Wilson]

The discussion on Bug 985508 suggests that the pristine check can never
apply for this package since /etc/iptables/rules is a 'configuration'
file, not a conffile.

Therefore the use of dpkg-mainscript-helper is likely erroneous anyway.
It will never be removed directly.

So perhaps we can strip all the complexity out?
