[Dependencies libfcgi-dev and clearsilver-dev (universe) dropped as
upstream recommendations against their plugin usage at this time].

** Description changed:

  strongSwan IPsec VPN-solution Main Inclusion Report.
  
  1. Availability:
   - In universe and Debian for some time.
  
  2. Rationale:
   - We need a supported and functional IPsec VPN solution in Ubuntu.
   - At the current time, this is racoon, which hasn't updated in quite a while:
  
     - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ipsec-tools
  
  3. Security:
   - No current CVEs.
   - CVE reports in the past: fixed by upstream as seen in:
  
      - https://www.strongswan.org/blog/
  
   - But as package is in universe, no oversight from security team.
   - Ships a daemon that handles connections to IPsec clients (AppArmor'ed by 
profile).
   - Open privileged ports on 500 and 4500 (charon daemon above).
  
  4. Quality assurance:
   - Current version doesn't install any working configuration, however this 
can be done with debconf.
   - It's simpler to do things by hand, as with openvpn.
   - Upstream is active:
     - Next release planned within a month: 
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/roadmap
     - Respond proactively to support queries on their ticketing system: 
https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/issues
     - Release presentations from time to time: 
https://www.strongswan.org/documentation.html
   - Build process runs test suite.

  5. UI standards:
   - Not applicable
  
  6. Dependencies:
   - libgmp3-dev
   - libssl-dev
   - libldns-dev (universe)
   - libunbound-dev (universe)
   - libcurl4-openssl-dev | libcurl3-dev | libcurl2-dev
   - libsoup2.4-dev
   - libpcsclite-dev
   - libldap2-dev
   - libpam0g-dev
   - libkrb5-dev
-  - libfcgi-dev
-  - clearsilver-dev (universe)
   - libtspi-dev
   - libxml2-dev
   - libsqlite3-dev
   - libmysqlclient-dev
  
  Note that the packages in universe are not part of the core strongSwan
  functionality and rather are linked to binary packages that are plugins
  (strongswan-libfast, strongswan-plugin-medsrv, strongswan-plugin-
  unbound).
  
  The building of these plugins could be disabled, but I'd rather offer
  our users a wide range of plugins by default - rather than have them
  rebuild strongSwan for functionality they may need.
  
  7. Standards compliance:
   - Shipped by Debian
   - Lintian clean
   - uses dh, source format 3.0 (quilt)
  
  8. Maintenance:
   - Currently maintained by a team of volunteers on Debian and Ubuntu.
   - Shared git repository on git.debian.org.
