Hi,

Indeed. I have Debian 10 and 11 builds working in the new buildbot environment, but those are not yet "release-quality" packaging-vise. Adding Debian 10 and 11 support to the current/old sbuild-based buildsystem proved quite difficult due to stupid technical reasons.

I'm at the final phases of wrapping up release Debian packaging in buildbot. Then we can switch over to it and get a lot better OS coverage.

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  No, it is not out-of-date.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.

Indeed. When I add new distro support (e.g. Debian 11) to our packages I take 
the upstream (Debian project) control files etc. and use them as a basis for 
ours. In this process I very often have to disable several Debian patches 
because they are the same patches that we've already released in our own minor 
releases.

So yes, Debian is keeping their packages updated with (a subset of our) patches
