I think you should also see that you need to modify the system and this is not the fault from Hyperbola. The point is: What do you really want and await? You want a default Linux or GNU/Linux-libre system? You need to rework many things. You want to follow the line Hyperbola is doing and using? Then you need to do different same. But one decision is needed at this point, jim. And as said: That PKGBUILD needs to be modified as you can always modify any PKGBUILD. That's also to be seen at the package nftables here at Hyperbola already. But as said: You will need to decide.
Doing own PKGBUILDs will go into the point where you surely be able to use them from other systems, but modify them so they fit into the context of Hyperbola. And that we also use GNU/Linux-libre is the approval this is possible.
But please understand also: I don't, won't and can't do much more at this point. When I do this for everyone else with every new package, new questions and more (aside from severe problems) I would never get back doing something else. From this point, I think, you have all what is needed to work through and decide also on your own. There is no generic "right" or generic "wrong", so decide on your own what is working for you. If it is nftables, you would need to redefine the way for filters. If it is iptables and Hyperbola, you will need to do work on your own. If it is only iptables, sorry but I can't help in there. There is no plan to turn this back as I have underlined.
And last again: You cannot use the PKGBUILD as it is from Parabola. I thought this is clear, otherwise I also emphasize this again. You need to modify it as we have not the packages Parabola has, we have also not cloned package-repositories and removed non-free ones. Hyperbola is complete different and independent. To count the different levels of possible issues:
- Debian-patchset or / and URL is no longer available (that happened exactly for iproute2), we cannot do anything about that as only reworking or updating the package
- Missing dependencies, we cannot do anything about that as to modify the packaging-script (PKGBUILD) and look what is needed or not
Both points happened and both points are nothing I have any influence about. You have chosen this way as you want iptables. So there is no other solution to go through, if you want to use Hyperbola. That will be the same with HyperbolaBSD: Porting and packaging, own tryouts for compilation and yes, possible failure and retry again.

No, Hyperbola does not support latex and also no pahole. We have dwarves!

Certainly anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices: For a life of every being full with peace and kindness, including diversity and freedom. Capitalism is destroying our minds, the planet itself and the universe in the end!
