should we be using unstable or testing openoffice...testing causes install problems see body

[Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>]

I have the entry:

deb http://ftp.openoffice.tuxfamily.org/openoffice testing main contrib

And I'm running testing plus I have the entry
APT::Default-Release "testing";

and apt-get install openoffice.org failed (see below) and yet
on another testing box I have the same configuration and
it worked without problem. Perhaps because I had somehow previously
install libgcc1 version 1:3.1 ... 



# apt-get --fix-missing install openoffice.org

Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
  openoffice.org-bin: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:3.1) but 1:3.0.4-7 is to be
  installed


So I did a apt-get -t unstable libgcc1 to get it to put in the newer
version from unstable and then apt-get install openoffice.org worked.

So the above link is not a truly representive of a testing release. I guess
this is related to the fact that openoffice is built with gcc3.x.x?

Question: Should we just point to the unstable distribution of openoffice
instead?
