I believe that this is a bug, but I haven't filed it yet. I spotted it
in Beta 1, but am waiting to confirm it on Beta 2.
There is no reason for the OOo libraries to be installed other than
for OOo itself. I can't guess why there are three separate packages,
unless it is to keep the package size down to an average of 35 MB
each. I find this one particularly egregious because they account for
some 230 MB installed, and my test machine has 1.6 GB of usable disk
space.
I added this as a comment to bug 88400.
