Title:
  iptables does not honour dpkg-buildflags (breaks arm64 build)

Status in “iptables” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  iptables does not use dpkg-buildflags. Doing so is a good thing
  generally, and is currently necessary for arm64 cross-builds.

  This simple patch fixes it. I don't know if there is any reason not to
  move forward from compat 7 to 9. It builds OK for me.

  If the package maintainer would prefer not to then adding 
  DPKG_EXPORT_BUILDFLAGS=1 before the 
  -include /usr/share/dpkg/buildflags.mk
   in debian/rules will fix the problem whilst staying at compat level 7.

  This bug identically filed in debian.
