Subject: ipsec-tools: /etc/init.d/setkey restart is broken

Package: ipsec-tools
Version: 1:0.5-3
Severity: grave
Justification: user security hole

In restart target of the setkey init script setkey is run with the
following command:

$SETKEY -f $SETKEY_CONF:

This fails of course since it appends ':' to the configuration file
name. Potential security hole introduced if the init script is used to
apply new secure configuration over previous insecure one but this fails
due to the typo in the script.
