[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#567152: network-manager-openvpn: vpn is stopped when wifi goes down or is renegociated

[Pierre Habouzit]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 0.7.2-1
Severity: important

When the NM-managed interface goes down (e.g. wifi renegociated) the VPN
is brought down, which is an anti-feature: timeouts for OpenVPN are
usually quite long, and OpenVPN uses UDP, both are resilient to an
interface going down then up again.

When the VPN is brought down, all the TCP connections, tunnels and so on
living through the VPN are broken, whereas they usually survive (for a
manually setup VPN as opposed to a NM-managed one) an interface restart.
