Ok, I unserstand now. Similar to the KDE repos where I got my Mandriva 
KDE4.5.0 uptade from. They are not maintained by Mandriva but by a KDE 
packager.

Seems to make sense to me.

From a marketing point of view, this would be in LibO's interest as the 
update to LibO would then be a no brainer even from the user point of 
view. Almost a form of "pushing" the LibO updates/upgrades through 
without having to go through distro packaging.

In this case, then, it would be a case of having a dedicated 
dev-packager for each flavour of packaging system used by the distros.
