Bug Description

Kubuntu is currently shiped with openoffice packages by default.
As many kubuntu users, I use koffice in the first place as it is a great office suite and as a by far better integration with the kde desktop.
It is not currently possible to replace OOo by koffice without removing the kubuntu-desktop package.
This is anoying since new deps and kubuntu component can only be installed via and apt-get dist-upgrade when you have this package installed.

I think a good way to correct this would be to have a "kubuntu-desktop-koffice" package that would replace OOo by koffice equivalents (kword, kspread, kexi, kpresenter, krita and kivio), and provide the same content than kubuntu-desktop for the other components.
