I didn't provide openoffice.org-core as transitional package per intent
as it's a package just needed by "real" stuff and that one now depends
on libreoffice-core via their transitional packages (-writer, etc.)
I don't like this - but if this is the only solution. Note it needs NEW.
If the RT thinks thinks this should be done this late in the freeze I
can do, though. Note it needs NEW.
