Description:
Would it be feasible to change the deps of fail2ban like it is done with sshguard? Currently fail2ban has a dep on iptables, whereas it would also work with nftables[0], firewalld[1] and ipset.
sshguard on the other hand lists everyone of said programs as optdepends.
So I would suggest to move iptables from depends to optdepends and add firewalld, nftables and ipset (unless there is specific reason not to do that).

Every option seems to be listed in the upstream unit file: https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/blob/master/files/fail2ban.service.in#L4

Thanks in advance for looking into this
