Logically, (for example) locally generated packets (that have no input interface) and packets from eth1 should equally fail to match "--in-interface eth2". In other words, a packet that has no source interface should never match any '--in-interface X' option because it clearly did not, and could not have, come in from interface X.

Of course, the implementation may present different conditions and limitations.
