Hi,
Right now I'm using sbuild, a wrapper around schroot, to build Debian
and Ubuntu packages. This is (or at least was) a pretty standard
mechanism in Debian for building packages for multiple different
platforms. The same can nowadays be done with Docker though.
The scripts that do the building are these:
<https://github.com/OpenVPN/sbuild_wrapper>
A build VM ("sbuild") with sbuild_wrapper can be created with
Vagrant+Virtualbox:
<https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn-vagrant>
The actual error I can't remember anymore, it's been a while. However,
sbuild calls apt inside the schroot in a certain way, and those calls
fail for more recent Debian. It _could_ be that upgrading the build VM
to, say, Ubuntu 20.04, would resolve the issue, but of that I'm not sure
about.
My idea was to not fix sbuild_wrapper at all and rather move to
packaging with the new production buildbot system. However, due to
various hindrances outside of my control getting that into production
shape has taken a lot longer than excepted. However, that is done except
for mail notifications. Debian packaging also works in buildbot, but
possibly some small tweaks are required to produce "production quality"
builds.
Anyhow, if you feel like taking a stab at fixing sbuild_wrapper I would
not mind.

There are esoteric technical reasons for that.
Would you like to elaborate what those "esoteric technical reasons" are with regards to
building the .deb package? Are the "esoteric technical reasons" confined to Debian only?
I ask because David Sommerseth produced the openvpn package, version 2.5.5 and now 2.5.6, for
Fedora 35, such as openvpn-2.5.6-1.fc35 (URL:
https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/openvpn/openvpn/fedora-35-updates.html)
Best regards.
