Package: gnumeric
Version: 1.4.3-4
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss

Hi,

when I open an sxc (openoffice.org calc) file in nautilus, it uses gnumeric 
by default. And when I save the file in question, it saves it in gnumeric 
format, without changing it's extension. This leads to many troubles (calc 
won't open that file, nor will gnumeric) which can be solved just by renaming 
the file, but it also leads to data loss since the original sxc file is 
lost, and as gnumeric's import for sxc files is not perfect, there is no way 
to recover it.

The automatic opening of sxc files by gnumeric might not be critical, but it 
renders the condition for data loss *very* likely to happen on each and every 
debian gnome desktop (maybe other DE are affected)

Thanks for your work on FS,
