Thanks to all for the feedback. Based on it the most flexible approach
would probably be to have four different repositories:
"testing": tracks latest release, including all alphas/beta/rcs
"stable": tracks latest stable release (2.3.x/2.4.x)
"release/2.3": tracks latest 2.3.x release
"release/2.4": tracks latest 2.4 release (including alphas/beta/rcs)
The current apt repository would become "release/2.3" to minimize
surprises. In all cases the package name would be "openvpn". A user
could have several of these repositories enabled at the same time - apt
would then just default to the latest version.
Right now Debian package building is not fully automated, but when it
is, having a "snapshots" repository would make sense.
I'd rather not allow several different OpenVPN packages to co-exist on a
single computer (e.g. "openvpn-2.3" and "openvpn-2.4"): that tends to
complicate packaging without any significant benefits. I believe this
approach is mostly used in cases where different application versions
are (protocol)incompatible, and users need to be able to use both
simultaneously.
