I had the OOo conflict in the initial upload of this package, and it was rejected by the ftpmasters with this comment from Thomas Viehmann: > from your changelog: > * Conflicts with openoffice.org-core (<< 1:2.4) to document that the > required language code (se) was added to OOo in version 2.4. > this is not a good idea.

To solve this issue and get the package included into Debian, I removed the conflict. An additional argument for removing it is that the command line hunspell interface work even if the dictionary do not work with OOo or ice*, and it should be possible to install it on a system to use the command line tool even if it will not work with the GUI tools. One example of such usage is as the backend for the d-i translation checking done on Alioth. It would be good to be able to install the dictionary on alioth without having to upgrade OOo and ice* related tools on Alioth. Because of this, I suspect it is best to not add the conflicts lines. But I am not sure, as I see the advantages of avoiding confused users installing the dictionary and not getting support for the langauge in OOo and ice*. The changelog comment was perhaps a bit unclear. This package do not only work with OOo 2.4 or newer. It also work on the command line, but for the users of OOo, it need version 2.4 or newer. Because the ftpmasters and you do not agree in this issue, and I am unsure what the best option is, I reduce the severity to normal.
