Waldi discovered a build problem which needs a patch, and I was sort of
wondering about the modifications to the openoffice wrapper, although we can
leave that if that's OK with you.

Maybe those languages are not part of 1.0?

Yes, I added it to the clean rule, so it will get generated if it is out of
date, just before building the source package.

In the language pack:
Depends: openoffice.org (>=1.0.0-3.4pre3)
I relaxed the dependency to make sure we don't have to upload 300Mb of
packages every time there is a new openoffice.org package.
In a move from 641 to 642, the openoffice.org package can conflict with
older langugage packs, but I do not know what version number that will be
yet.
I also made the language packs provide the virtual package
openoffice.org-l10n, and openoffice.org has a depends on:
openoffice.org-l10n-en | openoffice.org-l10n
So that any language pack can be installed, English preferred. I tried
uninstalling -en and installing -de, and got the user interface in German.
Also, the list of packages providing openoffice.org-l10 makes it easy to see
the available languages in package selection frontends.
I also removed the shlibdeps variable from the -i10n-* depends.

Yes. I split the English language out, too, to reduce the size of future
openoffice.org uploads, and make it possible to switch interface language.
The size of openoffice.org-4 + -i10n-en + -bin is the same as the size of
openoffice.org-1.0.0-3.

OK, thanks. There still seem to be some problems with the language pack
generation. In particular, I spotted these files that don't get put in the
language packs; I added them to the install list for the openoffice.org
package, but only the English language files:
usr/lib/openoffice/program/resource/iso64101.res
usr/lib/openoffice/share/wordbook/english/sun.dic
usr/lib/openoffice/share/wordbook/english/th_en_US.dat
usr/lib/openoffice/share/wordbook/english/th_en_US.idx
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/en_US.aff
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/en_US.dic
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/hyph_da.dic
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/hyph_de.dic
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/hyph_en.dic
usr/lib/openoffice/user/wordbook/hyph_ru.dic

Thank you :)
