Package: openvpn
Version: 2.6.0~rc1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

after updating openvpn from bullseye-backports from 2.5.1 to 2.6.0~rc1 I got a 
broken VPN client-to-site connection to a server
not supporting TLS 1.2 (forced min TLS version: 1.0, overridden cipher: 
AES-128-CBC).

The reason is not the explicit cipher in the setting, but 
network-manager-openvpn relies on a different option set.
Message:
--cipher set to 'AES-128-CBC' but missing in --data-ciphers 
(AES-256-GCM:AES-128-GCM:CHACHA20-POLY1305). OpenVPN ignores --cipher for 
cipher negotiations.

As a result, the connection cannot be established.

IMHO, in each case it is not a idea to backport openvpn 2.6 unless 
network-manager-openvpn supports to override also --data-ciphers.
