Hi,
In general I first have to agree that the openvpn services are a bit of a mess.
The deduplication of the openvpn services is a known and ongoing issue [1].
That requires to merge both of them and create sort of a best of both worlds 
approach.

I'll set my coworker who will work on that to CC here to be aware.

But for the suggested openvpn-server.target that would be referred to from 
quagga as After= I'm not so sure. I think that only reflects your use case of 
it.
I'd think there can be people using quagga without openvpn (not so bad since 
After is only an ordering dependency) or even people that have openvpn but want 
it to come up after quagga as they'd want some routing updates done before 
openvpn works.

I'm not entirely sure, but no matter where this goes in detail - the
openvpn services need to be cleaned up before that, because only then
can we make safe assumptions about their behavior.
