True, but openerp-server was already used for openerp-server 5 in Debian
and Ubuntu and same name is still in use by the deb packages published
by upstream for various versions.

The legacy packages are incompatible with these new packages. I am
inclined to even add breaks: openerp-server.

For these reasons, -full was chosen, inline with a few other packages
which use -full for extra functionality. In this case, extra
functionality no extra setup needed.
