I do appreciate your interest in making the pppd development active
again. However, at this point, I don't see what is the benefit of using
lpppd over pppd, and having two separate packages is a bit annoying.
Therefore, I would prefer to wait for lpppd to gain some traction
before packaging it in Buildroot.

Best regards,

Thomas
