The `keys.target` is used to indicate whether all NixOps keys were
successfully uploaded on an unattended reboot. However this can cause
startup issues e.g. with NixOS containers (see #67265) and can block
boots even though this might not be needed (e.g. with a dovecot2
instance running that doesn't need any of the NixOps keys).
As described in the NixOps manual[1], dependencies to keys should be
defined like this now:
``` nix
{
systemd.services.myservice = {
after = [ "secret-key.service" ];
wants = [ "secret-key.service" ];
};
}
```
However I'd leave the issue open until it's discussed whether or not to
keep `keys.target` in `nixpkgs`.

The strongswan-swanctl systemd service starts charon-systemd. This implements a IKE daemon
very similar to charon, but it's specifically designed for use with systemd. It uses the
systemd libraries for a native integration.
Instead of using starter and an ipsec.conf based configuration, the daemon is directly
managed by systemd and configured with the swanctl configuration backend.
See: https://wiki.strongswan.org/projects/strongswan/wiki/Charon-systemd
Note that the strongswan.conf and swantctl.conf configuration files are automatically
generated based on NixOS options under services.strongswan-swanctl.strongswan and
services.strongswan-swanctl.swanctl respectively.
