Hmm, I wouldn't call it "missing." "ebuild request" would be more appropriate.

And BTW, I see on this article http://www.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/02/25/209222 it says "The old installer survives only in the Windows version. On GNU/Linux, it is replaced by a dozen .rpm packages. With a little searching, you can find unofficial .deb packages, but these are often buggy, if less so than the results of using alien to convert the .rpm packages."

There are tarballs here for Linux http://openoffice.mirror.cygnal.ca/contrib/rc/2.0bc/

So I have no idea what that newsforge guy is talking about. Maybe the new tarballs have no graphical installer, but so be it, we don't use it anyways in Gentoo.
