Steps to reproduce:
(0) Install Bionic desktop
(1) Observe that only PPTP connection type is available when adding a VPN in the UI (using any method).
(2) Run `sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn`.
(3) Observe that in the top panel "VPN Settings" option, clicking the "+" next to "VPN" does not reveal any new VPN type options.
(4) Run `nm-connection-editor` from the command-line, and observe that not only is there no option to add an OpenVPN connection, but in addition, the following message is printed on the console
** Message: vpn: (openvpn,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-service.name) file "libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so" not found. Did you install the client package? |

summary |
[bionic] Installing network-manager-openvpn is not enough to add OpenVPN options to the connection editor |
[bionic] Locating necessary Network Manager plugins (for example, OpenVPN) is not a good experience |

Installing `network-manager-openvpn-gnome` seems to do the right thing, but the process of finding what should be installed isn't obvious to the user. |
