Hey, OOo dictionaries are big... let's make errata packages for them
differently for updates.
Oh yes, please, I have the feeling that all I'm updating lately are
these dictionaries ;)
I think for texmf the errata method is OK, after all it's one of the
largest packages (maybe the largest after openoffice?), and it would
allow the maintainer to be able to follow closer the texlive updates
instead of holding back updates because updates punish more than they
help.
