I see this at http://www.go-oo.org/download/:

Ubuntu provides Go-OO in their repositories. To install it just type as 
root

# apt-get install openoffice.org


However ... on my 9.04 installation, the main components of 
openoffice.org are installed but not this metapackage. Plus, there are 
hundreds of other openoffice.org- packages in the repositories 
(including the international languages) which aren't in 'openoffice.org' 
but I think are provided by go-oo.

What I don't see is a metapackage called 'go-oo', or any way of finding 
out what patches/addons provided by go-oo are installed or not.

Confusion reigns?
