Out of curiosity, I installed koffice on a spare Virtualbox VM
(Debian/sid - sidux). The VM itself is kept updated.
Both kword and kspread crashed (repeatedly & deterministically) when
trying to open new blank document! Karbon, Krita, Kpresenter at least
opened a blank document.

As I said, it was just out of curiosity. So, apologies! I do not use
koffice and I don't see myself using it in foreseeable future. In
fact, I don't see myself running squeeze either! So, I'll refrain from
this :(
Even if it gets included, I just hope there is a disclaimer, very
easily visible to the end user [*,**], that kword, kspread (and may be
kpresenter) are at best pre-alpha quality softwares! I understand that
a lot of work has gone into krita (and karbon) so it is worth
including koffice just for these.

[**] I wonder how many "end-users" actually use koffice? It almost
seems like a parallel universe.
