No, it isn't. Due to Suns broken oliy decisions. They include librpt*
(see below) as a no-op into openoffice.org-base. I don't see a sense to
include ~3 MB as no-op only to install the report builder. Thus I packge
librpt* into -report-builder. As the package contains the extension
anyway...

Exactly, because you miss the librpt* libraries (which normally are
no-ops) for the oxt to work correctly.

I thought about whether I should enable it for the backport but that
would have required to backport a dozen of Java libs (see
http://packages.debian.org/sid/openoffice.org-report-builder) and
the (build)depends of those.... Maybe I will do it in the future...
Using the internal Java libs of those (which is for OOos case a common
solution for backports) would be possible if Sun fixed the jfreereport
jars' build system to not require using binary-only jars in their zips
(which of course have been removed in Debian) - it's planned for 2.4,
though.

If you want the report-builder, you either need to backport the
plenthora of Java libs in *exactly* the same versions so I can use them
and enable the build of -report-builder for the etch-backport. Or you
use Suns "packages". Or you use sid.
