Per the package description:

"You need OpenVPN 2.6.x with dco-support compiled in to use this.
This module does _not_ accelerate OpenVPN 2.7. For OpenVPN 2.7 you need the new upstreamed kernel module ovpn (released first in Linux 6.16)."

In sid/testing openvpn is at version 2.7 and kernel 7+, so this package seems
useless (unless you want to backport to stable).

Eventually consider if useful to leave it in sid or remove there also.

Thanks.

Dear Fabio,

While I agree that this module should be removed from Testing eventually
and should not be released with Forky, now is not the time. Partial
upgrades are a thing, and since it is so easy to install the forky
package in stable it can also serve as viable testing grounds.

It does no harm to keep it for now.
