This probably deserves some discussion. I'm not a huge fan or
openoffice in general for various reasons but it seems to be the best
free software available for a wide audience (LaTeX, R and other great
tools are way too specialised and techie).
Back to OOo draw: it seems to me that it is just impress without the
effect parts and as such I don't think it uses much space. For the
record I do use it (mostly to do simple drawings, export them as pdf
and insert them into latex document, so I guess I'm not the main
target here...).
I don't mind installing extra software so removing it would be OK for
me, but only if it does allow a huge space gain, which I doubt (the
size of the .deb isn't a good hint here as impress is tiny and depends
on draw).
Best regards.
