Just my 0.02 euro / dollar here.

I think it could be a bad bad bad idea not to include OOo 3.0 in Intrepid because all major distros this fall will include it : mandriva 2009.0 done it, Fedora 10 will do it. Not doing it could be bad advertising.

Or at least, providing a meta packages explaining that user could have it without trouble. When i will upgrade to Intrepid with a clean install (nearly 7 months of hardy on my computer let some cadavers) I will kick out OOo 2.4.1 and install official openoffice.org deb on it, as I've done for Hardy.

It takes 5 minutes to do, and OpenOffice.org - even if it is not completely visually merged in ubuntu theme is usable.

Everybody is free to use which version it wants to use. But I think OOo 2.4.1 will see it support ended soon.
