Debian gets a major release about once every two years and the OpenVPN package is somewhat outdated.
You seem to miss my point. No, it is not out-of-date. It is fully supported and receives bug and security updates by the Debian package maintainer for the lifetime of the distribution. So far the OpenVPN maintainers over the last 10-15 years has been pretty good at keeping the OpenVPN package in a decent shape.
That the Debian repositories does not do major updates when the OpenVPN community releases one, is a Debian package policy. So you will miss new features arriving in new major releases. But the packages in supported Debian releases _are_ _up-to-date_ in regards to latest security and bug fixes. And this is what makes Debian releases far more stable than many other more bleeding edge distributions.
