They need to adapt anyway, we want(ed) to get rif of as much as OpenOffice.org
mentioning stuff as possible. This includes oo*.
Anyway, I'll never use the compat option here so that the packages stay
clean, but in theory we could add symlinks in the openoffice.org-*
transitional packages (so that oo* gets removed automatically when those
transitional packages get removed. And note that there won't be bash
completion for those oo* anymore - that file gets removed on upgrades)
