Motivation for this change

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-10155
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2019-12312

This is targeted at staging because of the huge rebuild - however, that rebuild is all due to the small change made to unbound required to persuade it to install its libevent-support headers. I haven't tried a full rebuild of these as the addition of this header to the output shouldn't really affect other packages not looking for it. Famous last words. libreswan itself has no reverse dependencies.

cc @afranchuk I am not a user of this package so would appreciate some help in testing.

Superficially this looks fine to me, though I can't test anything because I no longer use the package myself...

What should we do regarding 19.09? I don't feel comfortable backporting the patch to 3.18 - a lot of code around this area has changed between the two versions.. but it's also quite a big bump. It's "only" a null pointer dereference, but debian seem to have classed it "grave".
