I'm not Debian developer but I'm using ipsec-tools for years on Debian
servers.

Sometimes I build Debian packages from source (usually with some
patches) for specific usage and becasue that I have some experience
with it.

Your question about autoconf tells me that you do not have a lot of
experience with autotools (I do not want to offend you, I'm also far
from expert status) and because that I'm ready to help you with
packaging it for Debian if you accept me, of course.

I'm also Perl programmer, so maybe I can help with racoon-tool.
