In this particular bug we are being shown how it affects multiple
different packages and projects.  We have the following:

KDE PIM
 - an upstream project
OpenOffice
 - another upstream project
kdelibs (Ubuntu)
 - an Ubuntu package
openoffice.org (Ubuntu)
 - an Ubuntu package

The bug is "closed", or in an end state, for almost every thing it
affects.  The only remaining open affects is the upstream OpenOffice bug
and if the bug really isn't an OpenOffice bug it'd be best if we were to
get that upstream bug closed too.

This is a really neat question as it illustrates how a bug can affect
many different things which isn't the case with every bug.  I hope my
answer helps explain things.

Thanks,
