Indeed, debian doesn't create it, but openoffice in squeeze make these
So what? your network setup is broken. Fix it. If it involves adding
localhost.(none) to /etc/hosts, fine. But that's your network config.
petitions, so better having this line in /etc/hosts than waiting 10-15
seconds until your document is popup and then you can work.
a) /etc/hosts is not OOos job. OOo can't and shouldn't write there.

1. broken
2. senseless
3. against debian policy
As reference I have two links:
Well, it's known that OOo ias problems if the loopback interface
and/or localhost has problems. There's no point for OOo, though, working
localhost network is essential for other stuff, too.

And this is as bogus as this bug is.
Closing this nonsensical bug. Fix your network config.
Ok, after I added a domain to /etc/hostname (making the hostname
FQDN), openoffice works fine without localhost.(none) issue.
But debian installer allow you to create a /etc/hostname without be a
FQDN (without any domain), and then the first request of openoffice is
to localhost.(none) (or nameofyourhost.(none)) and if your dns server
won't like this name (like our dns), openoffice will be no responsive
until dns answer is received.

Could be this issue discussed in other place ? Or is for nothing
asking in debian-devel or any other mail list?
My propose is this patch to /usr/bin/soffice shell script, but I'm not
sure you would like it:
$ diff -u /usr/bin/soffice soffice.withwarning

I'm ccing you because I'm not sure I can reply to closed bugs (sorry
if I'm wasting your time)
Thank you
