That would be great if you have time to look at this for us.

We haven't done any work on it - it is all upstream's changes.  Take a look
at the desktop-integration diff to see which files are affected.

Almost, but not quite :( the same format as michael's patches.  Our patches
include an extra directory name at the front of the patch.  So for example
you'd have to change this:

--- officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu	8 Apr 2003 15:55:00 -0000	1.10
+++ officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu	20 May 2003 10:54:34 -0000

to this:

--- openoffice/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu	8 Apr 2003 15:55:00 -0000	1.10
+++ openoffice/officecfg/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu	20 May 2003 10:54:34 -0000


Take a look at the existing patches in debian/patches to see the format.
You can test them out by running the debian/scrtips/patch.apply and
debian/scripts/patch.unapply scripts.

I won't accept any patches for the rc1 packages because they are frozen
until upload.  The next packages will probably be taken from the rc3 branch.
