I haven't used it myself, but it appears to be for packages with make scripts in them. The above procedure is for the installation of Debs and their removal later on. I don't think OOo comes with a package with make scripts, does it? I noticed only two tgz's, one with RPMS and the other with Debs. -- Please reply to this list only.
