After a discussion with a colleague I think we should leave it as is in
the supported/stable releases (I already fixed it in Groovy, it should
land in the archive soon). The rationale is: even if the reload command
fails the service keeps active and running, the proposed solutions would
not fix the problem but would hide it from users. Adding the CAP_KILL
capability or the '+' prefix would allow the service to send the SIGHUP
signal and make 'systemctl reload openvpn@<server>' return 0, however,
it would still face some permission denied errors, making the reload
fails silently. In short, with or without the proposed fixes the reload
process will not succeed.
