Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-base

<sarcasm>Someone decided that it would be funny to have a package in base to depend on openoffice-writer.</sarcasm>

So after a netboot installation. I've got your basic commandline linux, with no xserver, no windowmanager, yet somehow openoffice-writer found it's way into my install.
