I suspect that The only "proper JVM" supported by OOo *is* gcj. (yet) [1]. Yes, Sun Java is in non-free, but Debian is only main. So gcj is the only JVM in Debian. If you've choosen to use a non-free JVM.... Sorry, but your "proper JVM" argument is none at all. In addition to that, officebean *should* work with all JVMs, as the first part of the depends show... $ apt-cache show openoffice.org-officebean Package: openoffice.org-officebean Priority: optional Section: misc Installed-Size: 448 Maintainer: Debian OpenOffice Team <debian-openoffice@lists.debian.org> Architecture: powerpc Source: openoffice.org (1:2.3.1-3) Version: 1:2.3.1-3+b1 Replaces: openoffice.org-common (<< 1.9.113-0pre1), openoffice.org2-officebean Provides: openoffice.org2-officebean Depends: java-gcj-compat | libgcj8-1-awt | sun-java5-bin | sun-java6-bin, libc6 (>= 2.7-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.2.1), libgcj8-1 (>= 4.2.1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.2.1), openoffice.org-core (= 1:2.3.1-3+b1), openoffice.org-java-common (>> 2.2.0-4) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [...] ... but the libgcj8-1 of course pulls in gcj.

This once was the case; but Upstream considers the officebean a "standard part of the office". So it got changed with 1:2.3.0~oog680m2-1 (so pre-2.3.0 packages) to make the *metapackage* depend on officebean. Yes, this is questionable in my view, too, but then again openoffice.org is simply a metapackage installing the modules. You can install OOos modules without the officebean.. I'd *never* make -core or some other OOo module depend on officebean, except when it'd be needed, which I doubt will happen.
