Just had a quick look, and it builds fine (as expected).

Hmm, see what you mean by the naming - that escaped me earlier.

Normally we would name the kmod package based on the module name - 
ovpn-dco-v2.ko. Which is kind of horrible.

What's the v2 supposed to signify I wonder - is it version 2? Is there 
going to be a version 3 ovpn-dco-v3.ko at some point. Having versioning 
within the name makes no sense (if that's what it is), but that's an 
upstream issue, not ours.

Which would you prefer? I'm happy to drop the -v2 if that's what you prefer.

I've also emailed the maintainer (and copied you in) to see if he can 
offer some insight into the naming and maybe offer us a steer.

Fab - probably best to email me off list and we can discuss options.
