And I believe an ideal bugreport for requesting a feature would be against sid,
given that etch is old.  ;-)

AFAIS, this is already partly done:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Impress_simple_multiple_display_specification
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=12719
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=67721
(fixed in 2.1)

But controlling the presentation on the external display is not done
yet:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Impress_presenter_mode_specification
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=18486

As this bugreport has a title/emphazation for multi-diplay support and not
for the controlling I close this.

Grüße/Regards,

René
