True. Because all of them build with-system-,mozilla so the internal mozilla
OOo ships is not relevant.

True. Though cws moz2seamonkey01 (Issue 66338) updates it to seamonkey (though
to a an already obosolete and buggy version. too)

As said above, they do, but the problem then still would be that you need
a heavily patched mozilla/seamonkey for it and build it during the build...
(or prepare stuff in advance and make OOo use zips). That means shipping mozilla
stuff in the OOo installset -> nightmare security wise. OOo update for any
mozilla security update, anyone?
OOo should be fixed to just work with --with-system-mozilla for the mozilla
addressbooks (if ever possible..) and honestly, for LDAP it should be fixed to
not rely on Mozilla at all (but use OpenLDAP)
