Title:
  usrmerge changes path of iptables - please update libvirt on a merge
  of 1.8.1-x (also affects backports to undo that path change)

Status in Ubuntu Cloud Archive:
  Fix Released
Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Libvirt has now the paths for ip-/ip6-/eb-tables set in d/rules (by Debian)
    /usr/sbin/ebtables
    /usr/sbin/iptables
    /usr/sbin/ip6tables
    
  But those paths are changing over time, most liikely due to usermerge activities.

  Bionic (as common backport target)
  iptables 1.6.1-2ubuntu2              => /sbin
  ebtables 2.0.10.4-3.5ubuntu2         => /sbin

  Eoan 
  iptables 1.6.1-2ubuntu3              => /sbin 
  ebtables 2.0.10.4+snapshot20181205-3 => /usr/sbin

  Debian
  iptables 1.8.2-4  => all in /usr/sbin
  ebtables (bin merged into the above)

  Due to that while merging libvirt I adapted to the current situation in Eoan for now.
  But this is only catched in build time tests and even there only listed as skip (binary not found) not as fail.
  Further at least the autopkgtests won't excercise this path, so once someone is merging the more recent iptables to Eoan this will somewhat silently break.

  For awareness I opened this bug against libvirt & iptables so that the
  one merging the latter is aware to drop [1] of the former for a
  rebuild.
