It would be useful if OOo detected if pyuno was installed and either
grey out or allow the mailmerge depending on if it is there or not
rather than having an explicit dependancy.
To avoid pulling in python on x86_64 I could make a middle layer package
called openoffice.org-emailmerge or something so it's obvious (sort of)
what to install if you want email mailmerge and put
/usr/lib/openoffice.org2.0/share/registry/modules/org/openoffice/Office/Writer/Writer-javamail.xcu
and the mailmerge script into it. That should make stuff work as
expected when installed/not installed and have that subpackage depend on
pyuno and writer, and writer not on it. Maybe additionally skip pushing
that subpackage as a FC-4 update, nifty as I think it is..
