Ok, so to summarize, if I upgraded the packages the files would have
been migrated. (It was actually by mistake, that I removed the packages
and did not upgrade.)
What kind of files are stored under these paths?
$ dpkg -L openoffice.org-common
/etc
/etc/bash_completion.d
/etc/bash_completion.d/ooffice.sh
/etc/openoffice
/etc/openoffice/sofficerc
/etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
/etc/openoffice/soffice.sh
/usr/lib/openoffice
/usr/lib/openoffice/program
/usr/lib/openoffice/share
/usr/lib/openoffice/share/config
I just found additionally the following files there
$ ls /usr/lib/openoffice/program/share/config/
javasettingsunopkginstall.xml
$ ls /usr/lib/openoffice/share/config/
javasettingsunopkginstall.xml
So I guess, I can safely purge `openoffice.org-common`.
Will you close this bug or should I do this?
Thank you for your response and explanation,
