Maintainer didn't answer yet, so I pinged him again. However, I am pretty 
certain that the script is just meant to be an example for local admins. I 
had a quick chat on #debian-devel as well, see below.

Therefore, I'd say we remove it from the potential DSA list. That leaves us 
with only qemu :)
I'll ping the maintainer there and try to follow up on it with him.

Cheers

13:49 < white> anyone here using openswan?
13:55 -!- manphiz [~dxy@218.244.247.198] has joined #debian-devel
13:56 < sgran> yes
14:00 < white> sgran: it is regarding the scripts 
under /usr/lib/ipsec/, /usr/lib/ipsec/livetest in particular, do you know 
when they are used?
14:00 -!- juliank_ [~juliank@p5B25075A.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined 
#debian-devel
14:01 < sgran> I'd be surprised if that one was ever run
14:02 < white> sgran: yeah, it doesn't look very useful, but it is prone to a 
symlink attack
14:02 < sgran> yes
14:02 < white> sgran: but from what i can see, it is just meant to be an 
example for an admin or something
14:02 < sgran> that's my impression as well
14:02 < madduck> then it ought to be in /usr/share/doc, right?
14:02 < sgran> since it has things like a private IP address hardcoded in it
14:02 < white> madduck: one would assume so
14:03 < white> well maintainer doesn't answer
14:03 < sgran> nothing else in /usr/lib/ipsec references it, so I think that 
would be safe, yes
14:04 -!- juliank [~juliank@p5B252636.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has quit [Ping 
timeout: 480 seconds]
14:04 < white> sgran: yeah, thanks for the confirmation, i like to double 
check such things :)
