Request backport OpenOffice 2.1 to Edgy

I was mistaken - the Applications/Office menu items install perfectly using the .deb files for OpenOffice 2.1. I had simply been too hasty before, and failed to look at the menus after I restarted my session.

I tried doing the installation again (going back to a ghosted image of Edgy w/ OpenOffice 2.04, using Synaptic to uninstall all OpenOffice 2.04 packages, and then "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" from the directory with the deb files), and this time, after I logged out and back in again, the Office menus are all correct, because one of the deb files is openoffice.org-debian-menus_2.1.6_all.deb, which installs the correct menu items.

When you uninstall OpenOffice 2.04, you also uninstall ubuntu-desktop. I have read that this will prevent an upgrade to Feisty. That is a price I am willing to pay to fix the font problems in OOo 2.04 in Edgy - I only do clean installs anyway.

Here's where I got the installation files (US English, I'm not sure about other versions):

ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/misc/openoffice/localized/finnish/stable/2.1.0/latest/OOo_2.1.0_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz

Will not build :(

Yeah, I saw that elsewhere in launchpad. Which is why I tried installing
the OOo 2.1 .deb's from that site in Finland, which worked perfectly (even
got the OOo quicklaunch feature, which is really nice - lets OOo start up
that much faster). To me that's the solution till Feisty's out and stable.

Thanks for the note, and for all the hard work on Edgy :-)
