Racoon does not create all the SPD policy for manually configured IPSEC
connections, and they have to be manually entered.   It does not keep track
of them, so it does not clean up on exit.

There are valid use cases for using setkey to set up static IPSEC keying
for local network security for IPv6 local net ICMP multicast messages.
 Adding this feature to the racoon init script would break this.
Racoon/setkey is basically a 'lower level' tool than strongswan.

I have done a lot of work on racoon-tool which does manage the SPD based on
the coneections you have configured, which now supports X509 and PSK
connections, transport and tunnel mode, IPv6 and IPv4, with X509 certs and
PSK working, along with basic anonymous VPN server set up, and I am willing
to put it up on backports.  Please tell me if these features cover your
usage cases.

Cheers,

Matthew Grant
