Supplementing my original point - I've gone through the notes I made when converting from Ubuntu/Openswan to Libreswan and, apart from the NSS issue, it was generally very straightforward, especially for a "standard" VPN type configuration. The only other issue of note comes from building Libreswan as deb packages and installing from .deb files.

In this case, Libreswan was installed (under Ubuntu) as an upstart job while Openswan had been a System V Init script install. This caused some initial confusion as /etc/init.d/ipsec had for some reason not been removed when the Libreswan package was installed (I used my own repository and apt-get).

I was also used to controlling pluto by using commands such as "/etc/init.d/ipsec restart" when the VPN needed to be kicked back into life. With Libreswan, I need to use "ipsec restart" instead.

It's these small differences that, in practice, affect the user much more than the build time parameter changes.

I also found this to be the most challenging thing when migrating in the last 
few months.
