I've added this override until such time as the openoffice.org packages
are in the archive, using the list of openoffice.org packages currently
sitting in the queue on auric.
I notice that the uploaded packages list you as the maintainer rather
than the mailing list. Do you intend to leave it this way, or to change
the maintainer to the list and move yourself into Uploaders? It would be
preferable not to rely on overrides, as they would have to be updated
whenever packages are added or removed, etc.
