Once aspect to consider here is that from a VPN server perspective, auto-starting is probably a good thing, while from a client perspective it is not. With that said, almost every Ubuntu client will be configured to use Network Manager (since it is the default). So to David's point about Network Manager doing this on demand, it is likely a moot issue for most clients.
