Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package fails to upgrade from
'testing'.
It installed fine in 'testing', then the upgrade to 'sid' fails.

Looks like the transitional package needs to get the version munged to
add an appropriate epoch to ensure smooth upgrades from wheezy.
*Only the transitional package* needs an epoch, don't add it to the
openoffice.org-en-au source package! (Hint: dpkg-gencontrol takes a -v
option, can also be passed via dh_gencontrol)
Or if that was already a transitional package in wheezy, it could be
dropped for jessie (and mythes-en-au could
Conflicts/Replaces: openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au
to get rid of the transitional if it is still installed somewhere).
cheers,
Andreas
