AbiWord package from abiword PPA depends on several big gnome libraries (libgnome, libgoffice, libbonobo, etc)

AbiWord package from abiword PPA (and from Debian depends on several big gnome libraries (ibgnome, libgoffice, libbonobo, etc) - this problem is already reported in Debian BTS, see http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494704 :

As you can see, the _new_ packages:
  libbonobo2-0 libbonobo2-common libgnome2-0 libgnome2-common libgnomevfs2-0
  libgnomevfs2-common libgoffice-0-4 libgoffice-0-common
was installed by installing abiword. I track it and see that now the abiword package depends on libgoffice-0-4, and this on libgnome2-0...

In the abiword changelog I can see a bit (on abiword (2.6.4-1)) about that now there isn't a abiword-gnome package because now Debian only ship a gtk version. But this seems to be not true...

I was make the change probably between abiword 2.6.3-x and this 2.6.4-4.

The problem is with the libgoffice library, and I think (I'm not a developer, and don't have any skills for it) that it is only necesary for the abiword-plugin-goffice package, and I don't have it installed:

||/ Izena Bertsioa Azalpena
+++-=====================================
un abiword-plugin-goffice <bat ere ez> (azalpena ez dago erabilgarri)

And I read that the abiword developers are saying that abiword don't depends on Gnome, only for the print proccess. See the 4. response in this interview:
http://www.redhatmagazine.com/2008/05/08/abiword-team-interview/
In this text the developer says too that libgoffice is only needed for the gnumeric import plugin, so I think that we don't need this depend in the abiword package, only in the abiword-plugin-goffice package.

Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'abiword'; however, that package was not published in Baltix.
