Yeah, fair enough.  I would also like to see proper IPsec support in
oe-core but, if we aren't going to do that, it seems as though this
packagegroup should just be deleted (even if temporarily).  Having a
half-baked "ipsec" task which doesn't actually serve any useful purpose
seems like it would just be annoying.
