Maybe we should rebuild iptables with --disable-nftables. This is what is done by LFS.
I didn't looked at what iptables nft compat goals.
From the commit text, this file is used to resolve textual representation of protocols in ethernet frames when using ebtables-compat.
Even though, it seems the correct idea is to make iptables optdepends on ebtables to have this (optional) file when you want to use ebtables features.
The future seems to be nftables and when you will want to switch to nftables using {ip,eb,arp}tables-compat, you'll not want to install ebtables packages to get this file.
