Bug#698193: gnome: Network configuration should tell me I need to install network-manager-openvpn-gnome

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.4+7
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I needed to set up my vpn. So I clicked the network icon in the menu and
chose Network Settings. Then, I clicked on the + sign and hitted Create
with VPN interface chosen. To my astonishment, nothing happened. No
error message, nothing. After researching the Internet a little bit I
found out I had to install the package network-manager-openvpn-gnome.

That should be informed to me via a warning message from the network
settings program. I'm not sure it has a special package for it (I
couldn't find it at least), so I'm reporting here.
