Package: openvpn
Version: 2.0.9-4
Severity: normal

There seems to be a race between daemonised openvpn trying to bring up network
and fetchmail (or the like) trying to connect to a pop server that can only
be accessed via VPN tunnel.  In my particular case, this results in:

  - fetchmail not checking mail in its first run.
  - /me being unable to set an high sleep period, since I would have to wait
  too much every time the machine is started.

I assume there could be other (maybe worse) problems because of this.  Would
you consider blocking openvpn initialisation untill the network is brought up?
