Package: openvpn
Version: 2.1~rc7-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

as a side effect of the fix for #454371 (which is btw. really
uncomfortable for users who were used to the init script behaviour, as I
now have to start each and every of my tunnels manually as in
invoke-rc.d openvpn start <foo>; invoke-rc.d openvpn start <bar>, as I
don't want my boot process be interrupted by something trivial as a vpn
tunnel) openvpn now stopps running tunnels on upgrades and does not
start them anymore.

Looks like this:

Stopping virtual private network daemon: imr.
Starting virtual private network daemon: Autostart disabled.

I guess the reason is that the init script gets called with stop and
start afterthat, which does not respect which tunnels were running
before. Possibles fixes:

1) I could change my configuration so that it starts tunnels again on
startup. But this interrupts my boot process so its unacceptable.

2) The post installation script could be modified to store the running
tunnels *before* stopping it (invoke-rc.d openvpn status? However it
does not seem to exist (anymore?)) and starting the running tunnels
after that. Ofcourse this requires more logic as the standard debhelper
logic, but the current behaviour is clearly worse.

I'd suggest the second option.

Thanks and best Regards,
Patrick
