No, it was never a real library. It was basically freeswan developer 
information in the form of man pages. It was good but they were also already 
littered with “this function is obsolete and will go away” which was a lie.

I stopped installing them because there were no real consumers for these and 
they were full of warnings from automatic lint tools etc and they were crappily 
converted from nroff to xml by me.
