Clarified, see changelog.

know what to make of it. You might also want to use your own
namespace for the variables in case they are used by anything else
in the future.
This is related to something that hopefully will be addressed in the
openoffice.org itself, regarding the problematic packages updating in
OOo. The problem is the same as with the non-free oo2-soikko (to which
oo2-voikko is now the new open source alternative) -
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=360472
It's been "fixed" with an additional "Conflicts" in the binary packages
etc., but it's not a real solution. Like Rene says in the bug comments:
"We need a policy for extensions like that, maybe with deregistering all
plugins before a OOo upgrade and registering them again. But we need it,
and we don't have it yet..."
* The upstream build uses CC_FLAGS rather that CFLAGS, the consequence
of which is that the package is built without -g.
Changed to CC_FLAGS, but seems not to build with -g still.
* The binary package name differs from the source package name again.
This was due to various historical reasons, but we agreed that the source
package name change would be just fine.
openoffice.org-voikko (1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Change package name to openoffice.org-voikko
* Complete ITP (Closes: #388803)
* Clean debian/watch
* Indent homepages in debian/control by two spaces
* Add COPYING from upstream SVN to clarify copyright issues
* Update debian/copyright
* Change CFLAGS to CC_FLAGS in debian/control
* Add #DEBHELPER# tokens to prerm and postinst scripts.
* Update Standards-Version to 3.7.2
* Clean up debian/rules
(the last three were already in oo2-voikko 1.1-1)

I uploaded this packages despite the remaining problems, so that there'd
be the newest version at mentors.debian.net anyway. Hopefully the first
3-4 packages can go in first, and then we'll see if openoffice.org-voikko
can be fixed as well.
