well, in some sense yes. This package is version 5.1, so it's horribly
outdated, the binary can't be downloaded any longer, and it probably has
many unknown security problems.
A current version of StarOffice (7.0) is quite similar to
OpenOffice.org, they use the same CVS tree, but has some additional
modules, for which Sun has licences to include in binaries, but not to
open-source them. As you have to pay for recent versions, I definitely
wouldn't object to a package, but I'm not too convinced if it's really
useful (and you'd need a volunteer to write it, although most can
probably taken from the openoffice-bin package).
