Having just bumped into this bug (not a feature as it stands IMO), I'm quite
shocked that this problem remains - or maybe people just do not use multiple
sections in most documents (probably a bad thing).

This may be a stupid question, but what would be wrong with simply having an
option for each page layout (ie. per section, AIUI) which specified whether it
should be pushed forward to an odd-numbered (or even numbered...or...) page, if
the print settings are set to duplex. Perhaps call it something like 'with
duplex printing force section start to [odd-numbered page|even-numbered page]' ?

Regarding a workaround fix, I have to agree with other comments that simplex is
more common than duplex and thus should be the default - ie. just remove the
'extra pages' functionality until a proper solution is present. If I had any say
in this, I would say this should be fixed for OOo2, but I'm sure its too late 
now :(

Regarding a permanent fix, I am aware that there are UI issues with how to
present simplex vs duplex, ie. if page numbers shift with duplex printing. The
best option off the top of my head would seem to be to add a 'document' option
(dialog) to the 'format' menu, which included an option to specify whether it is
a duplex document. I'm sure there are other option whole-document options (or if
they are elsewhere, perhaps they could be in the same place).

If the whole duplex/simplex issue is being discussed somewhere else, or should
be, please let me know.
