Yes, but it shouldn't go in strongswan-starter. The starter is
deprecated on systems which have systemd since we can use the new
charon-systemd daemon instead. So swanctl should probably have its own
separate binary package.

Personally I have no use for this and if we enable it, we have to
support it. So I'm not sure.
