Comment 7 for bug 234917

Actually quite a bit of OpenOffice.org would need to be rewritten for issues like this. It is expected by upstream that either all of OpenOffice.org is installed or none of it is. Some of the other problems include Java not working right, corruption of formulas in documents if openoffice.org-math is not installed, etc. Just finding all the spots that need to be changed if not all of OpenOffice.org is installed is pretty hard since until you encounter a problem you wouldn't even know to look in that area, eg the formulas issue that I recently received a bug report about.

I will revert the change back to a Depends but it was never a Suggests as was commented on, it was reduced to a Recommends. Ubuntu still doesn't auto-install Recommends but might in time for Intrepid (Debian already does).
