Bug#596900: openoffice.org-writer: DDE links not relative
Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.2.1-6
Severity: normal
OpenOffice.org Writer when making DDE links does not use a "relative"
address for the link. It uses the actual address of the file. For example,
/home/real-name/secret-project/sensitive-document.odt
This approach has at least two drawbacks:
1. After renaming the file, moving it or any such operation, these links
won't be available anymore. They won't get updated, anymore.
2. The "actual" address of the file might contain some private information
(e.g., user name, ...)
