Daniel, this is a good point but hopefully the user should be aware of
this...then again, maybe not! I don't know anything AT ALL about Ubuntu

Well, I'm certainly no expert. :-) I just narrate my experience with alien.
But at least we won't get blamed if it doesn't work, since it'll be
clear that this is "third party".
Have you been follwing the Java issue? Java components in OOo will be
compiled with GCJ.
oh boy! and what will that mean long term I wonder...
And what do you mean by removing Java? I have OOo
If all goes well, OOo will kep using Java, just as today, but making
sure that this Java works well with GCJ and other free JVMs. So this is
not about removing Java, but making sure that it works with free GCJ.
I don't think any of the "other" categories have this blessing...the
heading is ....
Well, I didn't mean to say they are "official".
I was responding to John's comment that the user would know he was
installing official packages. My response was that this script is not
any more official than the .debs we have, and in fact, they are less,
because the .debs are made by OOo developers who work with the
installation team.
Hence one assumes a certain "install at your own risk/lack of OOo
support" warning.
Yes. And that's a confort.
Cheers,
Daniel.
