Severity: wishlist

I figured after much time that Debian's OOo is actually Go-oo, or something like that. I then realized that Go-oo was mentioned in the copyright file, twice in the changelog, and in the Homepage field, which doesn't even show in my package manager. I'd like Go-oo to be mentioned more proheminently, probably in the package description(s). I don't know exactly what's Debian's OOo compared to Go-oo - it would be nice to explain this somewhere. I'm not asking to remove the OOo branding, just to make it clear that this isn't real OOo (and perhaps explaining the differences a bit).

And where you do please see a rebranding of our splash screen, please?

Correct, we don't. (Except maybe the progress bar color...)
