I'll start a build and see how it goes.
Peter has fixed anon CVS, so you can get the debian directory out of CVS
again:
export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.debian.org:/cvs/debian-openoffice
cvs login
[Press enter]
cvs -z4 get oo-deb

I also don't see them on the list at:
http://tools.openoffice.org/openoffice_lang.html
Maybe we should remove them from the list generated by
openoffice-xlate-lang -p all for now?

I've not deleted the file 'control' itself, and generating it from within
rules/clean means it is always present and up to date in source packages.

1.0.0 is a valid dependency, I believe, although I'm not sure we need it.
The newer openoffice.org package can depend on whatever -i10n-xx language
version is necessary without us needing to specify an upper limit on the
package version now.

No, I haven't checked yet although I'd be very surprised if they weren't
arch dependent.

Mm, good point; I'll add to TODO.

Hehe - well, speak is a nice way of putting it ;) I'm trying to avoid
