This is a known problem of 2.01 when trying to apply it on Debian kernel
sources - it will only work on vanilla kernels. Updating to 2.04-3 (from
unstable) should solve the problem. Backporting it should be relatively
easy since I always try to compile in on woody too (I need it myself on
woody). You will only need current debhelper and debconf stuff.

Yes, it is, and for some cases not even complete :)
The quickest way to solve this is to
rm
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/freeswan/linux/net/Makefile.fs2_4.ipsec_alg.patch
touch
/usr/src/kernel-patches/all/freeswan/linux/net/Makefile.fs2_4.ipsec_alg.patch
Then the make-kpkg debian will apply the freeswan patch correctly. After
that, manually edit net/Makefile and add the line
mod-subdirs += ipsec
after
mod-subdirs := ..... <whatever> ....
The reason why the patch doesn't apply cleanly on Debian kernel is
because of this line, which is different from the vanilla kernels.

It's holidays, so it's ok :)
Hope this helps,
