In common with others, I also don't see this option. I use Debian
(Testing) Linux.
My guess would be that the option is removed in Linux packages(0).
Reason? If users are updating via distro package managers, OOo's inbuilt
update system would by-pass that and go to the OOo site for updates.
For many, this would be undesirable. It could, for example, result in
OOo being updated from two sources; OOo site and distro repository.
Again, not desirable.
(0) Whether by the writers of OOo or the distro packagers, I don't know.
