Basically, the menu entries should directly use
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice wrapper.

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: openoffice.org-common
  
  Hello,
  
  I just tried to know where the "openoffice" executable was
  and I found a useless shell link which may slowdown the startup:
  1.  /usr/bin/openoffice:
      file system symlink to "/usr/bin/ooffice"
  2.  /usr/bin/ooffice:
      shell script which just launch the wrapper 
"/usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice"
  3.  /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice:
      the final wrapper shell script
  
   /usr/bin/ooffice:
  ---
  #!/bin/sh
  /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice  "$@"
  ---
  
  I think the startup time will be slighty shorter
  if we avoid to launch a temporary shell (step #2)
  by making the symlink (step #1) point directly to the wrapper script (step 
#3).
  
  Regards.

+ The desktop menu use the below command:
+ "ooffice -writer %U"
+ 
+ By using which, it seems to point to /usr/bin/ooffice
+ which isn't the final wrapper script.
+ 
+ Thus this bug is valid.
