I don't think the association with OOo is a problem. I think that should be kept. OOo should get a patch though, which will allow it to display a meaningful error in this situation. Now the behaviour is rather weird. (That's why I attached the file, so you can see what happens when you try to open such a document without this package installed.)
If you would want to change the associations too. I guess adding a seperate desktop link to this package which has the associations for just these formats and also links to OOo would solve this problem by kind of supporting selective associations. It should have an additional entry that hides it from the menu though. "Then why were you bringing up the other formats in your previous email, they apparently are actually supported even without this package despite what you originally claimed?" I guess you refer to spreadsheet filters for Writer in the 'apt-cache show' output I copied. I didn't intent to make those seem important. I hoped this sentence "The filter indeed mainly covers StarOffice & OpenOffice 1.x formats." would support this. It was meant to confirm your observation.
