With a simple "apt-get dist-upgrade" or "aptitude full-upgrade" it
won't install the new openoffice.org packages. It's needed to add "-t
experimental" on both to get the new version.

It also doesn't upgrade openoffice.org (with "cupt full-upgrade" or
"cupt dist-upgrade").
Like the others, it's necessary the "-t experimental" too.
(I wasn't unable to test if it was going to download the deltas, when
using -t experimental, since I hit bug #568515)

When reporting bugs (with reportbug), I see this:

  APT prefers unstable
  APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental')

I've read the apt_preferences manpage but I don't where experimental
is set (per default) to a lower priority.

So it seems that it's indeed necessary some kind of option to make
debdelta-upgrade download deltas from other distributions, right?
(like "-t experimental" from the other tools)

Best regards,
Nelson
