Found 'em! If you have some spare time, could you give the attached
patches a try? They look finished[0], but I don't have a VPN to test.

I hope we can avoid relying on the copy of vpnc-scripts bundled with vpnc:

- the bundled copy still lags behind upstream[1], even in trunk
- unbundling allows using a stable release of the vpnc client instead
  of a subversion checkout, while still easily updating the scripts
- and shaves ~50MiB from our openconnect package.

Of course, it has to actually work for you first :-)

Kind regards,

T G-R
