(Get the code!)
In order to be modular, it has been made a decision in AbiWord to make import/export filter to be plugins. These plugins are in a separate tree, BUT they are shipped in the same tarball, hence they are part of the abiword source package in Debian/Ubuntu.
OpenDocument itself appeared around 2.4.1/2.4.2.
The problem lies that Debian/Ubuntu actually split the package and so the ODT plugins isn't part of the main abiword package.
To fix the problem, the package building scripts should just be modified to include the plugin directly in the abiword binary package.
Note that the AbiWord developer are planing to eventual merge the plugin tree in the abi tree (without changing the result). But that's just for the convenience of people building from source.
