I don't. If I would, OOo wouldn't be in debian stable at all - as over the lifecycle of stable you always would have the old release. > > There is no way to add something on the bug page, > > Bad luck then. And bad bts too. Nope.

And my *personal* opinion is that everything in the debian bts is a waste for big packages like OOo. > As for the rule about the choice between oo.org and debian bts, expecting > users > to download and install the oo.org version before deciding is nuts. I didn't say you should. (Would be nice, though, but...)

True. Then please send me a testdoc with files and I'll see. (Which you should have done with your initial post in any case.) Grüße/Regards, René -- .''`.
