But whezzy isn't released yet and won't be for quite some time. I need 
to work with the stable release.
Don't get me wrong. I understand the move to LibreOffice and I support 
it. But I also have to support my 100 users.

No, I expect released software to work. Otherwise don't release it. 
Sorry if that sounds harsh, but the current situation is that 
unsuspecting users stand to lose a lot of their work.

OK, understood. So what should I do? I can test this against LibreOffice 
on wheezy, and raise a separate bug if the problem is there, too. Is 
there anything I can do to ensure that this gets looked at for the OOo 
package in squeeze?
