If I remember correctly (and I may not), the iptables-{save,restore}
were marked as experimental earlier, then at some point they were
not.  As of 1.3.8, iptables-{save,restore} are not experimental,
while ip6tables-{save,restore} are.  I would expect that they will
have the same fate sooner or later.  In the meantime, if you want
them, just use make experimental and make install-experimental
to get them...
