Sidenote: Ubuntu's security posture appears slightly better than Debian's, but I'm a little vague on the details. Historically, Ubuntu has had people like Kees Cook working on security of their distro and relentless pursued AppArmor policies, adoption of exploit mitigations, and reducing the footprint of the default install. Any way you can make it more distro-agnostic so I could run the installers on Ubuntu instead would be appreciated!
Btw, I didn't notice that portable OpenIKED was deprecated :-(.
