No, it was never a real library. It was basically freeswan developer information in the form of man pages. It was good but they were also already littered with “this function is obsolete and will go away” which was a lie.

I stopped installing them because there were no real consumers for these and they were full of warnings from automatic lint tools etc and they were crappily converted from nroff to xml by me.
