Ok.

I'm not certain, these complex dependencies (including the current
Conflicts generation) are... complex. But sounds sensible. I tried
preparing such a package for testing dist-upgrade (with my local extra
repository), but the dist-upgrade of lenny default install to squeeze
seems anyway broken at the moment. I'll try it at some point later.

For Ubuntu, they can as a last resort just do update-manager quirk to
remove ooo-voikko in the beginning of the installation and install the
new version at the end. There is a bug against update-manager open.
8.04 LTS -> 10.04 LTS upgrades will start to be offered at the change
of July-August (when 10.04.1 is released), so there is time until
that.
