Just because the openvpn package does not contain anything useful *on its 
own*, as long as the package depends on the right things it still isn't 
useless. (In my proposal I implied a dependency of openvpn on openvpn-core)

the init script exits with a non-zero exit status, which was the main reason 
why this wish has been written. Using systemd as init system openvpn shows up 
in systemctl:
> openvpn.service    loaded    failed    failed    LSB: Openvpn VPN service

(I'm not informed enough to judge whether the fault is with the openvpn init 
script, or systemd, or the LSB specification.)
