Well, if OO.o made debs available that were LSb compliant, then they would work on any LSB
compliant distro. Then there wouldn't be a need for each distro to create backports, or to
even have to package the software for their particular distribution. The OO.o repository
could be added to the sources list and updated directly from the ISV. This means you could
have whatever version you wanted on your system with little effort.
