Is CONFIG_NETFILTER=y required to *build* the netatop module, or only
needed at runtime ?

Two cases:

 - If it's needed to build the netatop module, then this change should
   be part of the commit adding the netatop package.

 - If it's needed only at runtime, we have a more relaxed policy, and we
   generally don't enforce the kernel options in such a case.

Thanks,

Thomas
