Strange. Language packs in OpenOffice.org (including those for

Is LibreOffice's packaging different from this point of view? And why?

I know it's not a real answer to your question. :)

Well, not a complete answer but still enough to see a questionable
technical choice, that can hopefully be either reviewed or explained
with good arguments, taking into account the OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice
volunteers work.

Being the maintainer of the Italian dictionary package, I'm sad to see
LibreOffice trashing my work (and doing the same with other
community-contributed dictionary packages, like Danish as seen in this
thread) without explanation.

The word "trashing" is maybe a bit strong in my opinion. Dictionaries
are built in e.g. in Windows builds, and some Linux distros are also
packaging them. I think general Linux builds should include the
dictionaries and distro specific builds should exclude them and should
ship current system wide dictionary packages at the same time.

Regards,
Andras
