Actually quite a bit of OpenOffice.org would need to be rewritten for
issues like this. It is expected by upstream that either all of
OpenOffice.org is installed or none of it is. Some of the other problems
include Java not working right, corruption of formulas in documents if
openoffice.org-math is not installed, etc. Just finding all the spots
that need to be changed if not all of OpenOffice.org is installed is
pretty hard since until you encounter a problem you wouldn't even know
to look in that area, eg the formulas issue that I recently received a
bug report about.

I will revert the change back to a Depends but it was never a Suggests
as was commented on, it was reduced to a Recommends. Ubuntu still
doesn't auto-install Recommends but might in time for Intrepid (Debian
already does).
