Bug#1053565: RFS: openvpn3-client/20+dfsg-1 [ITP] -- virtual private network daemon (version 3)
>> * Package name : openvpn3-client

Sorry, missed your e-mail.
This is not the same as the openvpn packages, this is a different
implementation from the same company.
At the moment, they have only released the client part.
This implementation has functionality for 2-factor authentication that
openvpn2 does not have.
The package that upstream releases is openvpn3-linux (source) or
openvpn3 (package). I have named it
openvpn3-client to
1. Make it clear that this is only the client part
2. Prepare for future releases that include a server part
There internal software structure is already split into different
parts; but they release a collapsed archive for the client only.
