And I would respectfully disagree with your disagreement, since the
"configuration" file for iptables are not configuration files at all,
rather "state" files, hence they should not be stored in /etc/ but in
/var/lib/iptables :) But we can continue discussing forever here, and
get nowhwere else :D

For what matters, put the default wherever you want, but please do not
write that in stone, and do not *force* people to either like it or
die. I have never been able to use ifupdown successfully, so whatever
you want to auto-do during ifup/ifdown will be useless on my machines,
where other scripts do what I need the way I need it to be done.
