That's easy.
OpenOffice.org is a really huge package which an enourmous count (22) and
size of binary and source package(s). Uploading a new version if we change only
some documentation things, react to problems which need documenting in
README.Debian or do bugfixes on the wrapper script would cause an
enourmous mirror hit, which is easily avoided with this little package
which can then be updated more often if it's necessary.
The upload of -5 was rejected by James due to this problem...
Regards,
Rene
