Yes, they aren't the finest examples of bash scripting, but IMHO they are an improvement on typing it all in by hand, a process we already document on http://download.openoffice.org/680/ and in http://documentation.openoffice.org/setup_guide2/index.html. Hard-coding the version isn't smart, but at least you known which version of the code the author of the script has used for testing :-) Judging by the comments on the Ubuntu forums, these scripts are meeting a need. Incidentally, the user reaction there to the new version is also very positive.
