Here is a (possibly naive?) first attempt at a patch. It simply places an additional dependency on each of the main OOo components (writer, calc, draw and base) so that the -math package will be installed whenever any of them are installed. There seems to be no need for doing this to the impress package, because it depends on the draw package anyway.
The attached .debdiff has *many* lintian warnings, a few of which I can probably clean up without too much work. At this point I have *not* build the resulting updated OOo binary .deb files, as this needs a beefier machine than I have running for several hours...! I'd value feedback on whether this is a useful approach to this bug.
