@Mathias, it seems Debian are routinely rejecting iptables restore scripts for some reason. Unfortunately the bug you mentioned doesn't really explain why, the guy on that bug was having trouble finding out exactly why it is being rejected as well

@kirkland, Thanks for the guidelines, definitely helpful

I don't know how much is it acceptable considering the different goals for Ubuntu to "differ" from Debian, but coming from a redhat background, saving/restoring iptables rules upon server boot is extremely customary. I couldn't believe that there really is no official way to get this done.

So my question now is, if I contribute an upstart job to save/load iptables rules, would it be accepted
