[...] No, I don't want bugs which are obviously bpgus or are wishes against upstream which I won't fo anything about except forwarding upstream. I also don't want a sitload of upstream bugs here I won't fix anyway but forward upstream. That has notihing do do with not wanting to have bug reports. > This problem looks entirely involved with Debian packaging, [...] No one denied that. > but I won't ever submit a bug about openoffice.org > to Debian after reading all that stuff.

No, In contast it would just "waste" time for the *1* packager of this beast to handle them instead of doing valuable work. Anyway, to the bug: This is not completely fixable. The Depends: are correct for -report-builder. I of course can remove the Ore-Depends: (which would make the Depends icorrect) but then you still wouldn't have a proper upgrade of -report-builder. (Apt will just happily remove it and not reinstall it again) Do the upgrade without -preort-builder and then install it again is the sanest workaround for now (but I have no illusion that you won't follow it given your rant about trying to keep the BTS in a maintainable state) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
