I tried to downgrade ppp to version 2.4.9-1+1.1+b1 and openfortivpn is
working again.

By searching the web, I found openfortigui issue [#194], which mentions
the new option --pppd-accept-remote that has to be used with
openfortvpn, when ppp version >= 2.5.0 ...

[#194]: <https://github.com/theinvisible/openfortigui/issues/194>

I actually added

  pppd-accept-remote = true

to my /etc/openfortivpn/MYNETWORK and now openfortivpn works again
(with ppp/2.5.0-1+2).

I am therefore lowering the severity of this bug report.

I am not closing it, though, since I believe that such an important
behavior change (the need to add an option, if ppp version >= 2.5.0)
should really be communicated to the users of the openfortivpn Debian
package users.
Maybe a NEWS.Debian file in /usr/share/doc/openfortivpn could be added
to document this new need?
I really believe that users should be warned about this!
