Looking at https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=tls-remote
there are possibly more packages which are affected.
Have you notified them about this and/or checked that they are not affected?

I'm not sure if it's a bit late at this point of the release cycle to
introduce such a change in openvpn. I've CCed the release-team on their
input on this, i.e. whether we want openvpn in stretch 2.4 and how the
removal of tls-remote should be handled.

Regards,
Michael
