I agree it is a problem, but there is no perfect solution.
* The OOo integration with GNOME is a joke.

So you suggest to drop OOo altogether? Well, that would be rigorous but consistent. However, I fear that we'll see some rather long faces from user complaining about their pet package missing...
As for planner, I’m not sure either. Maybe it’s not suitable for the default installation.
I really don't consider it usefull enough to justify it getting installed on each and every Debian desktop system out there.
In all cases, dropping gnome-office altogether is not the way to go, since currently it’s the dependency that brings inkscape (which beats OOo draw by knock-out), gimp and xsane.
You are definitely right that the latter three packages should get installed by default. And indeed, in tasksel, gimp is in the desktop task and both inkscape and xsane are in the gnome-desktop task, so there is no need to pull them in via gnome-office.
