If it wouldn't break stuff I wouldn't have filed this as a "important" bug
(but as minor)

openoffice.org 3.x is already prepared for lenny backports and does that
based on checking lsb_releases output. Without hacking it to use =sid
for the variable (which is bogus, and breaks the distribution which should
not be named, too) I loose the changes for the mono 2.0 transition and
the dependency on the "normal" liblucene2-java (it would use the internal
copy instead) when uploading this without change built on a sid/building on
a buildd which for some reason has base-files 5.

Grüße/Regards,

René
