For Ubuntu, please register / log into Launchpad and visit https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1131253 where you can subscribe for notifications and select that the bug affects you too and thus generate a higher bug heat, hopefully persuading packagers that AOO is important to package into the (universe?) repository. The bug gets 4 points of heat per person affected and 2 points per person subscribed to receive notifications, so we only need 9 more people to do this, for it to get > 60 points which will put it on the first page of "needs-packaging" bugs ordered by bug heat :).
