Still only on the radar.

Well, OOo3 is already in experimental, but we didn't do the transition
to the new paths (and package names) yet. and that (hyphen- or altlinuxhyph-)
or whatever else) is not done.
And since lenny is frozen we can't do this in sid anyway and filing RC bugs and
agressively NMUing for transitions : Any stuff we do here is not lenny material
anyway so will have still some time.
It will get done somewhen in the squeeze cycle.

That's obvious :)
