Package: strongswan
Version: 5.1.1-1~bpo70+1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

Would you kindly please include the build option 
'--enable-kernel-libipsec' for future strongswan packages? The 
description to this
parameter could be found here on Strongswan wiki: 
http://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Kernel-libipsec, 
which says
this plugin provides a userland IPSec implementation using TUN devices. 
It is particularly useful for virtualized servers like OpenVZ
which does not have kernel modules loaded for IPSec.

Thanks,
TZ
