This isn't OpenVPN's responsibility and you need to consult your distro
docs to interact with its init-system. In Ubuntu, your reference is the
update-rc.d(8) manpage.

At a quick glance, Ubuntu ships with an initscript that "helpfully"
enables itself on boot and attempts to launch all configs it finds. Your
options would be to stop launching the openvpn initscript on boot
(explained in the manpage reference earlier) or see the comments in
/etc/default/openvpn to control what the initscript does when it runs.

Please send suggestions, improvements, or complaints on the initscript
downstream to Ubuntu's Launchpad. Custom initscripts are each distro's
concern, not OpenVPN's.
