There's no "can't do"; more a "won't do because it does not make much sense". I would need to patch dictionaries-common which contains the script which generates the file to generate the /etc/openoffice2 one (or add a copy of the other one) and then call the respective one just for a package which is experimental anyway and will go away once it is back in unstable... And I'd need to add a call to generate the openoffice2 one to dictionaries-commons ppostinst/rm which first has to check whether OOo2 is installed etc... Oh, and then you would need some mechanism to make the 1.1.x thesauri only add info files for 1.1.x and the 2.x ones only for 2.x and change the script to take only either one only to revert it once 2.0 becomes default again. This makes no sense for this timeframe where the openoffice.org2 packages are experimental. They will be back in unstable once and then the "old" thesauri (only 2..) will be transitioned and /etc/openoffice will be used.... Regards, Rene
