Beta and Stable

[Olafur Arason]

OpenOffice.org had delayed repeatatly the final release so it feel
after breezy was released. It had been comitted to releasing breezy
with OpenOffice.org 2, Suse was in the same situation as us with the
10 release.

Here is an email from ubuntu-devel:
----
Test packages for the final 2.0 release are available at

  deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2 ./

for amd64 and powerpc at

  deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2-amd64 ./
  deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/OOo2-powerpc ./

Please use the bug tracking system for feedback, but explicitely mention
the version number, or that you are using the test packages.

At least dapper will be with OpenOffice.org 2 packages. Also
technically the X.org packages had beta elements like the seperation,
so beta doesn't always say everything.
