Hi Paul,

thanks for the bug and the patch.

I've not yet enabled the PQC algorithms support not particularly because it's
an obscure flag but rather because of the maturity of that support (we have
had experimental algorithms in strongSwan since quite a while).

I'm definitely in favor of enabling those, and have them settled for Forky but
I'm not entirely sure yet which ones to enable and where (which package) to
put them. I especially need to check if it's possible to setup and maybe
enforce hybridation.

I'll not just apply your patch asap but I'll keep it in mind in the following
months (feel free to bug me about it if I don't follow up soon enough) while
thinking about it along with upstream.

Thanks again for the reminder and the patch!

Regards,
