Hi Martin, strongswan-plugin-kernel-libipsec does provide the plugin (or supposedly) in Ubuntu 14.04.
There are two reasons (or at least mine) to use kernel-libipsec, one is that kernel-libipsec provides a separate interface so that filtering/inspecting the packets would be easier with iptables, and second is that for OpenVZ-based platforms, kernel-libipsec is necessary to make both L2TP/IPSec and IKEv1 to work properly simultaneously (although for L2TP case tunnel mode must be used). I have tested that kernel-netlink alone will fail to forward the packets between the gateway and IKEv1 clients.
