[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#859322: network-manager-openvpn: no way to specific an IPv6 remote

[yangfl]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I'm trying to translate an existing .ovpn file into appropriate nm config. The remote specified in .ovpn is given as `remote 2001::xxxx port', but I found nm refused neither form of an IPv6 host, like 2001::xxxx:port, [2001::xxxx]:port, or [2001::xxxx] without a port. 
I believe this behavior is out of exception, since openvpn is happy with such config.
