Poking around in OOo installation sets (as a preparatory work on rethinking the packaging process---more on this to come), I have a few questions. (Most of my poking took place in a standard SRC680m202 unxlngi6.pro OOo rpm installation set as built by Sun Hamburg.)

- Are ./LICENSE, ./LICENSE.html, ./README, ./README.html, ./THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html (all from package -core02-) always in en-US?

- Why is ./LICENSE also available as ./LICENSE.html, ./README also available as ./README.html, and ./THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html not also available as as ./THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME?

- Why are ./LICENSE and ./LICENSE.html doubled as ./licenses/LICENSE_en-US and ./license/LICENSE_en-US.html (also package -core02-), and ./README and ./README.html doubled as ./readmes/README_en-US and ./readmes/README_en-US.html (also package -core02-), but not ./THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.html?

- Why are all the (localized, plain and html) license and readme files at ./licenses and ./readmes doubled at /share/readme? (All en-US ones are from package -core02-, all localized ones are from respective -<LOCALE>- packages.)

- The ./program/resource/*680en-US.res files are split across -base-, -calc-, -core08-, and -math-, while the corresponding files for any other locale are bundled in -<LOCALE>-res-. Why are the en-US files split across packages, and why is -core08- (the package that contains most of them, and exclusively such res files) not called -en_US-res- instead?

- Why is ./program/unopkg_gui (a trivial shell script to execute "unopkg gui") part of (various different) desktop integrations (e.g., -mandrivia-menus-, -redhat-menus-, -suse-menus-) and not just once and for all put into the same package as ./program/unopkg itself (-core02-)?

- What are the ./share/xdg/*.desktop files (from various packages) used for?
