Thanks!

This could be interpreted as: Who uses these obsoleted packages
is best served with libreswan, but does this also hold for new 
installations starting from scratch with buster?

I have e.g. looked at popcon stats and unless I am missing something
StrongSwan is much more popular than LibreSwan. Or did I overlook
something?

LibreSwan has some RedHat backing(?), is there some kind of pull
towards LibreSwan from StrongSwan?
