It won't screw up the server. It's just the client program. It would
be like installing openssh-server on the system and then installing
openssh-client. Does the client have anything to do with the server?
Not really... it just talks to it. Doesn't have anything to do with
the server running.

If you're using the 2.2.19-5.xmdk kernel from the most recent update,
then hang on a little bit longer. I'm fixing this problem and will be
putting out another kernel shortly that has the ipsec/freeswan stuff
included in the sources. I built a kernel this afternoon using a new
kernel-source package that fixes that dangling ipsec symlink.
