When the package is installed, br_netfilter is loaded on boot.
Since the ebtables module depends on br_netfilter, this could still lead
to unwanted cases of netfilter calls from the bridge layer.

Also, I don't see how this affects the boot time message at all, I don't
see any condition in the kernel code.

NACK from me on this one...
