We don't package such software yet, although we may do so in the
future.  At the moment I'm not sure whether we'll go with CIPE or
FreeS/WAN.

BTW, our userland includes patches to losetup and mount to support the
international (crypto) kernel patch (encrypted filesystems).  And the
kernel patch includes CIPE.  So that may better fit the "one way to do
a thing" / "one implementation of a feature" rule.

Feedback from the Owl user community is welcome and may well affect
the decision.
