Eric Bachards mail accusing me "blocking" OOo4Kids or AOOo. At the first early
days there were big build problems. That was eventually solved, but there's
simply no resources for me (spare-time!) to do both. That's the first
reason OOo4kids is not in Debian.  The second reason is that - because it's
*edu* stuff - is better maintained by debian-edu or somesuch. They obviously
either don't know of it or didn't have interest otherwise it would have happened.

And packaging CAN SIMPLY NOT be done via a trivial script as people suggest. 
Look how much integration work the openoffice.org package (and libreoffice
package) has (and MUST HAVE) to match Debian policy.

Anyway, this sub-part of the thread became a bit OT. CC'ing ericb anyway
for fairness. (And yes, Eric, debians mls are open for postings of
non-subscribers).

Regards,

Rene
