As far I understand it, a kernel recompilation is necessary in most cases, so the upgrade won't be smooth anyway. Not providing an upgrade package would leave current freeswan users with their setup, while providing an upgrade package would make them pull in openswan on upgrade, when they really wanted to keep that kernel and their current freeswan set up.
