Well, you can keep it if you want. I bet you use aptitude and it just
removes it again because it got installed automatically because the
"openoffice.org" metapackage depending on it - which it doesn't do anymore :)

So obviously your install was broken before because
org.openoffice.da.writer2latex.oxt *IS* there before the upgrade.
on normal squeeze (or sid, fwiw):
# apt-get install openoffice.org
[...]
Setting up openoffice.org-writer2latex (0.5.0.2-4) ...
Adding extension /usr/lib/openoffice/share/extension/install/writer2latex.oxt... done.
[...]
# /usr/lib/openoffice/program/unopkg list --shared
all deployed shared packages:
Identifier: org.openoffice.da.writer2latex.oxt
Version: 0.5.0.2
The prerm assumes that if you have the package installed you have the extension
registered - if not anything else was broken before that.
Please don't make package maintainers responsible for working around broken
systems before the upgrade.
Just checking for it being there and removing it only when it's not shown
in --list can open other can of worms, better fail early.
In neither way is this is a bug in writer2latex - (well, it might be one in the global scope but you didn't paste the full upgrade log but just this which is
not exactly useful).
