OK, I'll pick it up.

There are two repositories, one is the core libraries; the other is the
linux client. The client is compiled by using a git external.

Because of this (git external), I decided package the two repositories
separately: one as a library (lib/dev combo), to use the dev package for
the headers and linking the openvpn3-core statically [1]

The (source) packages are reflecting the upstream git repositories:

1. openvpn3 (library)
2. openvpn3-linux (client)

I need to do some restructuring (from your answer I understand that
/usr/include/openvpn/ as the include path should ot be used).

We're testing it with our company VPN, and it seems to work just fine
(including the 2FA over a web page), the only thing we need to do is to
remove this line from the ovpn files that are generated/provided (error
feedback is not optimal ;-) ).

# OVPN_ACCESS_SERVER_ORGANIZATION=OpenVPN, Inc.

[1] I'd like to get the packages without too much of a patch on the code
and there are some questionable practices like including cpp files.
