Nevermind, I found that I had renamed the init.d script but systemd doesn't use it, so it was not sending the correctly named command to systemd to shut it off.
# systemctl # listed running services # systemctl stop openvpn.service # service stopped. If I start it by hand with the init script, then using the init script to stop it works. I beg Debian-user's pardon for this systemd waste of time.
