Bug Description
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
For people like myself who don't especially like OpenOffice, and instead rely on alternatives like GNOME Office or Google Docs, removing it would be desirable - however this yeilds the most undesirable result of also removing additional language support due to the way dependencies are hard coded.
The desirable outcome would be being able to choose to avoid OpenOffice while retaining language support.

<cjwatson> 200307 is really a language-support-* bug, isn't it? I don't see that you can do much about it in OOo
<@calc> cjwatson: i think i am supposed to be making OOo fallback properly since apt still doesn't install recommends
<@calc> the ideal fix is to make them be recommends in the language packs and have apt install recommends
<@calc> at least aiui
apt installing recommends won't happen until 8.10 now, so I think this bug is likely to have to wait until then.
