First of all I've tested (again) a fresh install and there is no
problem during the installation. By default there is nothing to be
started after a fresh install.
Second, in Debian the user 'nobody' with group ' nogroup' are created
by default. There should be no group 'nobody' on a Debian system.

The most likely cause of your problem is a custom VPN configuration
which enforces low privileges using 'user+group'. Thus the severity
change.
Please send us the VPN profile (without any sensitive information) or
at least the output from this command:
$ grep -i -E '(user|group)' /etc/openvpn/*.conf

Cheers
