fixed 990283 openvpn/2.5.1-2~bpo10+1
severity 990283 important
thanks



Hello Daniel,

thanks for your answer.

since the 2.4.9-3 release, the restart on an update of openvpn was
disabled due to bug #959464.

This change is present in Debian stable in the current backport 
2.5.1-2~bpo10+1. 

A new point release is therefore IMHO not necessary.

I will still consult with the maintainer about this, though.
