Hi guys,

Firstly, I wish to thank you for giving us OpenVPN 2.6.5.

Secondly I have a few questions about the *.deb packages for Debian 12 
(bookworm). They are:

(A) After navigating to /debian/openvpn/release/2.6/pool/bookworm/main/o/, I 
found three packages. They are:

openvpn-dbgsym_2.6.5-bookworm0_amd64.deb

openvpn_2.6.5-bookworm0_amd64.deb

openvpn-dco-dkms_0.2.20230426-bookworm0_all.deb

(B) What are the differences between them?

(C) What do *dbgsym* and *dkms* stand for? I suppose *dco* stands for Data 
Channel Offload.

(D) I guess openvpn_2.6.5-bookworm0_amd64.deb uses the "normal" way of 
installing it on Debian. But do openvpn-dbgsym_2.6.5-bookworm0_amd64.deb and 
openvpn-dco-dkms_0.2.20230426-bookworm0_all.deb require additional packages 
from Debian's official repos?

(E) Does my VPN service provider/vendor need to install 
openvpn-dbgsym_2.6.5-bookworm0_amd64.deb and 
openvpn-dco-dkms_0.2.20230426-bookworm0_all.deb on their VPN servers in order 
to make full use of the new functionalities that OpenVPN 2.6.5 provides?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Best regards.

Stella
