debian/rules
- if you need a patched clean target, then do

clean: clean-patched unpatch
clean-patched: $(QUILT_STAMPFN)
  <do real clean tuff>

  without calling debian/rules clean.
- install is .PHONY so no need for an install-stamp
- no .PHONY is defined toh, better if you check dh_make template or
other packages

debian/control
- you could add even a Vcs-Browser pointing to the web git interface
- you can remove the last line "." from description
- uncapitalize "Client" from short description

Since you claim  compatibility with policy 3.8.0 and you're using
quilt as patch system, you have to provide a README.source to explain
that quilt is in use (simple exemple in matplotlib package).

debian/copyright
- no need to clearly indicate the tarball of the upsteam code, just
the website is enough
- it's better to link to GPL-2 files on local system (instead of
simple GPL), and so license the package
- misses many information, like correcy copyright years intervall (I
see a 2001 beginning, for example) and for example
platform/windows/libopenvpn/buffer.h has copyright holder as
"Copyright (C) 2002-2003 James Yonan <jim@yonan.net>", like many other
files in the upstream tarball. Please check every source file in the
upstream tarball (I usually run a 'find . -type f -exec less {} \;'
over the full source code to find these files, you can even use
licensecheck, but don't rely solely on it).

debian/watch
- is missing: what about adding it?

Please fix those points (in particular copyright part, which mainly
prevents the upload) and reupload to mentos (same debian revision for
me).
