cacao-oj6-jre is? There is openjdk (and it's not that slow as people
suggest FME).
And cacao-oj6-jre (is at least in sid) Priority: extra anyway.
Citing from the policy:
"extra
This contains all packages that conflict with others with required, important, standard or optional priorities, or are only likely to be useful if you already know what they are or have specialized requirements."

Maybe (although I currently don't know how/whether that can be achieved,
cacao-oj6-jre has - of course - a openjdk-like structure). OOo would need
to parse its info...
But the correct fix (imho) is to fix cacao-oj6-jre.

well, there's users who don't use openoffice.org, so your "no users"
thing is wrong or at least not complete ;-)
