Which I reported already a couple of months ago.
I already offered a solution, but I _never_ received an e-mail about
this matter by the maintainer team.
I should really get worried but I found my way out of this trouble.

Indeed I still use Debian for enterprise solutions. Ubuntu is good for a
home-office or a end-user to see what's next in Debian, because the
release cycles are very, hm, rare...

That's exactly what I'm on about. Did you have a look at the lots of
(unresolved) bugs in Ubuntu?

You know how the package sytstem works?
Of course there is a solution for +200 and more machines if you need a
working version of OpenOffice.

Ever heared of apt-pinning?
You can tell the system to prefer certain packages.
You just have to alter the apt-sources-list to your needs, heres a howto:

What could happen, really, if you install a version that is running like
you expect it to?
You won't run into trouble, if you use the complete package by the
DEBIAN team, because the .deb packages are not compiled or supported by OOo.
Double trouble?
No, I don't think so, just a working application.

Have a look in the SID-tree. It is Still In Development but working
better, as the Ubuntu package (but I spotted different bugs, but those
ones went to bugs.debian.org and were already resolved)
If you want to run a good piece of software in a company I will suggest
and prefer Debian, or a LTS version of Ubuntu, which is still Dapper...
Don't worry, Gutsy's on the way.
(With a new pack of bugs, for shure!)
Kind regards from germany,
