eh? Look at the example. Just add the snippets you need. Use your favourite editor and look. If you want to look what to change, what about a diff of a .openoffice.org2 before/after you configured it in the UI? > What place would you suggest for these configuration extensions? > openoffice.org-ctl-he places its .zip into > /usr/share/openoffice.org-ctl-he.

It has a postinst registering the extension. You are admin, you can "unopkg add --shared ..." it. Same with a user (without --shared). See http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=10;bug=431193, though, there's a policy planned for locations of extensions. > > Otherwise: yes, OOo seems to have the ability to have a second layer in > > /etc overriding what's in /usr/lib/openoffice/share/registry (and maybe > > config/, too) but last I tried it it crashed when using this, so I never > > implemented it for the packages. > > When did you try? Any chance of this getting some attention upstream? Don't remember anymore. 2.1? 2.2.0?
