Ah, found another one:
Synaptic on Ubuntu 11.10 has a package "openoffice.org" which installs
LibreOffice. It is not installed by default (the "libreoffice" package
is) and also provides the 'explanation'

This is a transitional package, replacing the OpenOffice.org packaging
with the LibreOffice packaging.
It can be safely removed after an upgrade.

but still, is this OK?
it sounds strange and not really ok for me.
Same for me.
First they could still support older versions of OOo and second we
would probably like to reserve this package name for an upgrade to AOO
if possible at a later time.
I hope we can find some support for this later. But using the name and
installing something different is of course confusing and misleading,
isn't it?
I'm complaining about that since several month (e.g. on this list 23
november 11h19). Glad to see I'm not the only one now.
I would assume that hey have done it without a hidden agenda and thought
it would be ok ;-)
I don't want or better I don't think that it make sense if we make a big
issue out of this.
I think we want have a good relation to them and we should potentially
send a friendly reminder that we see a problem here.
As a user I would expect that I get the latest OOo 3.3 version. And in
the future we would like to use it to get an AOO with some explanation.
Any other opinions?
