Drat. So I'll include all three versions in the next update. Unless the older versions of iptables are not compatible with newer versions of linux. (I begin to see why some products stay with a specific set of pkg versions for longer periods of time: keeping one or two things updated can turn into a full-time job updating all of the related pkgs.)
