As you maybe have guessed, that is a complete obsolete package. You did see the
version number, didn't you?

$ rmadison openoffice.org-l10n-km
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1 |     etch-m68k | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-5etch1 |        stable | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km | 2.0.4.dfsg.2-7 |       testing | all
openoffice.org-l10n-km |  2.1~rc2-1 |  experimental | all

Not in sid, testings version doesn't have that problem, and the package from experimental
is cruft.

Yes. And it's a completely obsolete package it should be removed. See
the bugs on ftp.debian.org for this:

Is it *really* so hard to look whether a removal request was already filed for
a completely obsolet package which somehow didn't get removed automatically as it
should? Easily seeable by the version and the fact that the package is not even installable.
(simply because it's 2.1)

If the ftpmasters actually would do anything wrt removals I would not get more of those
useless bugreports.

I think I need to keep this open for openoffice.org-l10n-km to prevent more bugs like
this (note that this is not fixable anymore by me) filed against openoffice.org-l10n-km.

*SIGH*
