Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Description:
Openoffice 3.0.1 in ubuntu 9.04 uses old version of ICU library(libicu) and 
this causes wrong rendering of langauges, particularly Malayalam(ml_IN)

Details:
Version of libicu in jaunty : 3.8-5 ( 
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/openoffice.org-core )
Version of libicu in karmic : 3.8-5 
(http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/openoffice.org-core)
Version of libicu in Debian testing: 4.0 
(http://packages.debian.org/testing/openoffice.org-core)
libicu 4.0 has the fix for this ticket: 
http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/6108 to fix a Malayalam rendering 
problem

Since it is not included  jaunty or karmic, Malayalam rendering is wrong
in Ubuntu 9.04

Expected:
Use libicu 4.0 version

How to reproduce:
Always reproducible
1. launch open office writer in ubuntu 9.04, and paste this text: " അതു് " . 
2. Compare the rendering in gedit or browser or compare the redering with 
Openoffice in Debian testing
