iptables init scripts missing in Sarge 3.1 stable?

I've recently installed the stable version of Debian stable (3.1) by
downloading the iso from http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/. In previous
installations, there was a /etc/init.d/iptables script,
/etc/default/iptables, and a repository of iptables-save files in
/var/lib/iptables.

This installation doesn't have that, yet a variety of howtos seem to
imply it should.

iptables is infact installed:

kurt@grfx:~$ dpkg -l iptables
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
uppercase=bad)
||/ Name Version
Description
+++-=======================================-=======================================-==============================================================================================
ii iptables 1.2.11-10
Linux kernel 2.4+ iptables administration tools

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Kurt
