[eduVPN-deploy] Debian/Ubuntu Test Packages for eduVPN/Let's Connect! 3.x Server

[François Kooman]

Hello Yevhenii,

Currently during the testing stage there is no (supported) way to 
upgrade to version 3.x. I will provide documentation and/or script on 
how to migrate from 2.x to 3.x on Debian 11 (and Debian 11 only). It may 
still require some manual changes/upgrades, especially regarding user 
authentication.

Two additional points:

1. All users will have to 'reauthorize' their eduVPN/Let's Connect! 
client to obtain a new configuration after upgrade, or download a new 
configuration file from the portal and import it in their client;
2. When deploying eduVPN in the "Secure Internet / Guest Usage" scenario 
we'll have to wait until eduVPN/Let's Connect! 3.1 before those servers 
can be upgraded. They also all need to be upgraded more or less at the 
same time to avoid breaking the guest usage between NREN servers (too much).

Regards,
François
