Then you should have sent it to the maintainer explicitely.
/me is not the maintainer, debian-openoffice is. :-)
(Though I am de-facto the sole one maintaining it.)
Fullquoting for -openoffice's sake.
(and yes, the BTS seems to have problems reaching -openoffice. You're
not the only one)

If you have evolution installed and didn't manually set the option yourself
in the options, yes.

The attached patch is nonsense, sorry.
Why not fix sensible-lomua.diff instead instead of adding a new patch which in fact
removes sensible-lomua.diff?
But I see the point of this patch..
But we probably should check for xdg-open, use it if there and if not, do what
we have already?
