Pointing and laughing == Not much help. Just another term for for not
being much help in resolving you issue should you ask.

You see, I just don't have any problems with OO.o. I use the
"distro-version", no the "native" (actually foreign, but I digress).
As far as the upstream version, it is fan-boyism when talking about how
it is better and doesn't have problem. Going upstream defeats the whole
purpose of package management.
And if you are so inclined, read this RFH from Rene Engelhard:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2007/04/msg00462.html
Seems there is only *ONE* person behind the Debian version right now,
which, on the outside, would give credence to those that would prove the
distro-version is bad, but infact this produces some very good opps for
people to help with Debian.
