Package: ftp.debian.org Severity: normal Dear ftpmasters,
Please remove ipsec-tools from unstable. It was not suitable to include in buster and we the maintainers don't believe upstream will wake up to improve the package. There are alternatives (strongswan et al) available in Debian. Noah's original explanation from #917847: The package is effectively orphaned upstream and has been for some time. Given the security-sensitive nature of the package, an active maintainer community is essential for safe usage. Racoon's lack of support for IKEv2, despite it being stable for a long time, and the availability of next-generation tunneling systems such as wireguard, also would seem to limit its future value. Setkey's functionality has been subsumed by 'ip xfrm'. Thanks, Chris -- ,''`.
