Aaah! OK, I failed to find that. I was looking at all of the package
descriptions and didn't understand what I was supposed to do.
Could you maybe change the last paragraph of the description for
libstlport4.5-full? Somthing like this:
This package contains the development symlinks and a static library for the
full stlport implementation for those packages that cannot be compiled using
libstbport4.5-dev. See README.Debian for details.

I am told that OOo uses certain stlport features which are not available in
g++ (locales at a guess). So I guess we'll need to stay with -full, then.
Thanks for your explaination,
Chris
