In order to be modular, it has been made a decision in AbiWord to make 
import/export filter to be plugins. These plugins are in a separate tree, BUT 
they are shipped in the same tarball, hence they are part of the abiword source 
package in Debian/Ubuntu.
OpenDocument itself appeared around 2.4.1/2.4.2.

The problem lies that Debian/Ubuntu actually split the package and so the ODT 
plugins isn't part of the main abiword package.
To fix the problem, the package building scripts should just be modified to 
include the plugin directly in the abiword binary package.

Note that the AbiWord developer are planing to eventual merge the plugin
tree in the abi tree (without changing the result). But that's just for
the convenience of people building from source.

OpenDocument plugin should be shipped with Abiword, not -plugins
