Bug#342710: openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us: Hyphenation absent post-Sarge?

[Scott Thatcher <thatcher@truman.edu>]

Package: openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us
Version: 20030813-3
Severity: normal


Sorry if this is a repeat--I think my previous submission got interrupted.

I noticed that the openoffice.org-hyphenation-en-us package is not present in
releases after Sarge.  Consequently, hyphenation doesn't work in the default
Debian installation of OpenOffice2 in Sid.  Is it planned to include this file
in the future?  Although I have seen that the "Install new dictionaries..."
wizard in OpenOffice does provide a workaround to this problem, it
still seems that hyphenation should be available without extra work
in the default installation.

I noticed that a side effect of this ommision is that hyphenation doesn't work
in the most recent release of Ubuntu.  Further more, presumably because the
version of OpenOffice 2 in Ubuntu is slightly older, the "Install new
dictionaries..." wizard doesn't work either.  No move to Ubuntu for me.

Thanks for all the work you do on these packages--it is appreciated.
