That's doesn't make sense.
openoffice.org is *empty* except the files the policy mandates and some
files for reportbug. No files without any effect on OOo itself.

rene@frodo:~$ dpkg -L openoffice.org
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/bug
/usr/share/bug/openoffice.org
/usr/share/bug/openoffice.org/control
/usr/share/bug/openoffice.org/presubj
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/copyright
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.gz
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/README.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/openoffice.org/changelog.

Of course, installing openoffice.org might have pulled you
openoffice.org-java-common in, but he has it already.

And he already *did* tell it was a problem with his profile.

Regards,

Rene
