Under etch I'm trying to use apt-build to apply the iptables "tproxy"
patch from balabit.com. The apt-build process seems to complete
properly when I use the --patch option to include the patch, and I get a
new .deb in my apt-build repository. However, when I use dpkg to
install the .deb, the resulting iptables seems to not include support
for the new options that the patch is supposed to provide.

One apparent problem with this is that the patch adds an iptables
extension called TPROXY, but I don't see a corresponding
libipt_TPROXY.so in /lib/iptables. When I look inside the .deb I don't
see that file listed as part of the package, but, as far as I
understand, the patch should be creating this file. So, I'm wondering
if I need to do more than just use "--patch" to tell apt-build what this
patch is doing.

I'm new to apt-build, so I may be missing something simple.
