Like I said, my testing on a fresh gutsy install has failed to reproduce
that :

$ sudo apt-get install openvpn
[...]
$ grep openvpn /etc/passwd | wc -l
0
$ grep openvpn /etc/group | wc -l
0

No "openvpn" user or group is created upon openvpn install in Gutsy. So
openvpn isn't configured to run as "openvpn" user out-of-the-box in
Gutsy... Furthermore I see no reference to a specific user creation in
the Gutsy package.

Could you please explain in more detail and provide the information I
asked in comment #3 : name of the user or group that were created, the
version you originally installed, the version you upgraded to, the type
of upgrade you've performed...
