As you maybe have guessed, that is a complete obsolete package. You did see the
version number, didn't you?

$ rmadison openoffice.org-l10n-km
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1 |     etch-m68k | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1 |        stable | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7 |       testing | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km |  2.1~rc2-1 |  experimental | all

Not in sid, testings version doesn't have that problem, and the package from 
experimental
is cruft.

Yes. And it's a completely obsolete package it should be removed. See
the bugs on ftp.debian.org for this:

Is it *really* so hard to look whether a removal request was already filed for
a completely obsolet package which somehow didn't get removed automatically as 
it
should? Easily seeable by the version and the fact that the package is not even 
installable.
(simply because it's 2.1)

If the ftpmasters actually would do anything wrt removals I would not get more 
of those
useless bugreports.

I think I need to keep this open for openoffice.org-l10n-km to prevent more 
bugs like
this (note that this is not fixable anymore by me) filed against 
openoffice.org-l10n-km.

*SIGH*
