The menu rpms now use rpm trigger scripts to create a symlink from
/etc/openoffice.org-1.9 -> /opt/openoffice.org-1.9.74, since this seems
the only way to handle module de-selection appropriatly without making
the OOo rpms non-relocatable or creating non packaged files in post
install scripts.

I suspect trigger scripts are not handled by alien. However, I hope
we'll see native debian menu packages some day.
