Bug Description

The /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf script in 24.04 attempts to call `resolvconf` with a device/interface that looks like `tun0.openvpn` when the actual interface is just `tun0`. This results in the up script failing with the following error, at least with the default of `resolvconf` being a frontend for resolvectl:

> Failed to resolve interface "tun0.openvpn": No such device

I think that either `update-resolv-conf` should be updated to not include the `.openvpn` suffix, or the `resolvconf` command should be changed to handle stripping the "PROG" part of the IFACE.PROG" string.
