AFAIK you should also be able to do that if you put it into the registry, too
- unfortunately it is in /usr/lib, so assuming you change a file it'll
be overwritten on the next upgrade sice ...

I'd personally create a "extension" with the config, see
the openoffice.org-ctl-he package for an example. No complete oxt-extension
but enough to change config.
