As TM has been told elsewhere in this thread, this doesn't work for 
openvpn, because of its need for a pointer to a specific configuration 
file - you have to make a manual link, or use some other odd syntax. 
This is definitely a weird quirk that is not handled elegantly by 
systemd at the current time.

For some people, that's proof (PROOF I tell you!) that systemd is 
horrible and the developers are evil...
