Maybe we should leave the package in -update as is and go with the flock() alternative.
OR .... evaluate if, let's say, the Focal's iptables could be backported (if feasible) in bionic-backports.
That way, one who wants the 'wait' and 'wait-interval' to be available could rely on -backport, while the rest of our Bionic users could remain on the same old iptables behavior provided in -updates.
I'm on the same page.
