(except the infamous mozilla one which needs internal headers of a heavily patched obsolete mozilla and therefore doesn't build against a "normal" Debian ice*/xulrunner) So you expect a function to work if the only connectors for it being there are not installed? What do you expect OOo to do? Merge -evolution into -base? (And force a libebook-1.2-9 on anyone? Only suggest libebook-1.2-9? Which would make people wonder why their stuff doesn't work?)
