Thank you Kevin, Jan-Hendrik (is there a correlation of Hendri[c]k to
Debian?). A belated thank you, but here it is.
I did use the YD binaries for some days, then decided to bite the
bullet and use apt pinning to install OpenOffice.org from unstable. It
is mostly working, except for wizards. Do the wizards need Sun Java
(Blackdown)? Should I file a bug report on that, if so, how to capture
meaningful information in a log or something the like?
