Bug#406778: openoffice.org-common: Circular depends with openoffice.org-style-default

Why should anyone need them? Why should anything want to run OOo
in their maintainer scripts?

For the SDK stuff (openoffice.org-dev) or unpkg (-core) you can use them anyway
after that one is installed, which also configures -common. The order here AFAIS
is not relevant, as long as everything gets configured since you call
the SDK tools / unopkg *after* all of the packages got installed.
TRhere's no maintainer scripts interdepends in the OpenOffice.org
packages.

See above. Why?

In any case, this is not easily fixable anyway, since when you install
OOo you of course want the defult icon set and when using only GNOME/KDE
(and therefore Industrial/Crystal you might not want the Default set not
installed anymore - which they would be if they were in -common itself)
