Hello Jesus, I wasn't able to compile iptables for my kernel a few years ago (I got all sorts of gcc errors), so the only solution for me was to convert the patched iptables rpm to deb (with alien). You should be able to find this rpm on sourceforge, and you should install it by force in your debian system.
