This is basically bug #35417, so I'm going to merge (and close) 
both of them.  You'll find that this is true for all services, and 
these are not bugs.  Really! :-)

Strongly disagree.

What's ‘invoke’ supposed to mean here?  The openvpn service *does* 
invoke openvpn.

If you want (your) user to do the same, like all packages, openvpn 
must be added to SYSTEM-PACKAGES or installed into their own 
profile.

Kind regards,
