Bug Description

When creating an ad-hoc interface from the applet menu on jaunty netbook remix, /var/log/daemon.log shows network-manager is trying to use iptables to set up NAT. However, iptables is not installed (netbook remix has less packages installed by default).

iptables should be added to the Recommends, like dnsmasq-base was (after all, dnsmasq is less useful if you cannot use NAT).
