If you run that command, you'll see that there are six such files that get 
overwritten. (/usr/lib/openoffice/user/config/*.so*, which are styles for 
arrows, colours, background patterns, etc.)

If these files are not localised, the language pack will contain the English 
files and conflict with l10n-en. The only reason we don't get conflicts with 
non-English files is that the filenames are translated and that they 
coincidentally have different names.

The filenames themselves are translated, so that "classic.sog" becomes 
"klassisk.sog" in Danish. However, the upcoming Norwegian Bokmål translation 
would like to use "klassisk.sog" as well, which would lead to a conflict with 
Danish. If the filenames were prefixed by their language code, this kind of 
conflicts would never happen. (Something like "da-klassisk.sog" or 
"45-klassisk.sog" would be nice.)
