The problem (AFAI remember) is that pptp is able to communicate with M$
pptp clients when some features are enabled. From /etc/ppp/pptpd-options:
#require-chap
#require-chapms
#require-chapms-v2
#+chap
##+chapms
##+chapms-v2
##mppe-40
##mppe-128
##mppe-stateless
to have these options working and so to be able to accept M$ clients as
well (it might be that they can connect without it as well - I have not
checked) you need to apply the mppe kernel patch.
Again - pptp works fine without that, you only have to disable these
options in the default config file, which has been done:
pptpd (1.1.2-1) unstable; urgency=low
[...]
* Took out all MPPE options from pptpd-options (the options for pppd) as
long as the default pppd package does not support it.
Closes: #61651
* Changed maintainer email to rmayr@debian.org
