Package: openvpn
Version: 2.3.1-2
Severity: normal

My openVPN configuration was heavily reliant on per-client
configuration, and some certificates had spaces in them.

Previous versions of openvpn required/allowed to replace
spaces by underscores in the CCD directory, but the latest
version (2.3.1-2) no longer does so. This means that our
per-client configuration completely broke, to the point of
making the network completely unusable at two sites.

I think at the very least the upgrade script should detect
such a situation and warn the user to rename the files. I
don't think it can be done automatically because the
underscores might actually be in the certificate. However
just having known this up-front would have been extremely
helpful.
