Clarified, see changelog.

 * The system of substrvars you have used is a little strange, I don't
   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)

URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/o/openoffice.org-voikko

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.
