I'm in doubt to take the whole source in debian ... just an overkill,
but split the source into many packages will take much time!

Hmmm the idea is good, but two cvs are senseless, I think! But on the
other hand, it would make impossible to make an initial mirror of
OpenOffice 6.0 on a debian-cvs repository to work on it to get a debian
package of it.

Who should be asked to initialize the cvs/debian-openoffice?

I have to look at the docs of it! I will do it up to tomorrow!
