"In some aspect" ... yes, but has more function than 1.1.4 and i have not
yet found any broken part that worked on 1.1.4 and not in 1.9.>=95.
On the other part i have a lot of files that 1.1.3 does not open correctly
and a few ones that not even 1.1.4 open yet.
I do not say that you must put 1.9 in stable, but putting on experimental,
possibly with a caveat would be ok.
Otherwise create a new package, openoffice.org2 (or openoffice2.org ?)
keeping in experimental, but regularly updated, so those that want to have
it in their system, at their risk, can take advantage from a standard
upgrade path via apt.

not sure is a real "bug" but absolutely not a bogus need !
