I think "gnome-panel" is a good representative package for "wants GNOME".

For sorting out the dependencies, I see two options:

 * All the openoffice.org* packages get entirely removed from language-support-writing-* (in the langpack-o-matic lists), and instead we leave installation of those to language-selector.

  This would mean that we'd need to explicitly seed the thesaurus and spellchecker for English on our CDs (which is fine, we just need to not forget it)

 * We put back the alternative dependencies to "| language-support-writing-$LANG" to openoffice.org-{thesaurus,dictionary}-$LANG, so that if someone only installs language-support-$LANG it doesn't automatically pull in openoffice.org as well.

What's the preferred option here?
