Why is the ipsec patch applied by default in the debian kernel? Asking
users to unapply a patch that shouldn't be in the stable kernel in the
first place is unacceptable. Telling them to use the "vanilla kernel"
makes them lose the security updates, the only ones that should be
applied to debian's kernel-source packages.
This whole thing is a unintuitive mess that has certainly caused more
aggravation than benefited anyone. How was the old system of having a
separate ipsec patch broken?
