Avoid openoffice language-packs installation

Asked by Fabio Marzocca

I am setting up a customized USB-live key for my company.
They have asked me to remove openoffice and install Lotus Symphony in
the Live USB: The problem is that when they install the Live, ubiquity
starts downloading the whole language packs for openoffice (en and it)
and I would try to avoid this, in order to save installation time.

Where should I hack to step over the openoffice language-packs installation?

Preseed this (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbiquityAutomation):

  d-i pkgsel/language-packs string

(That will arrange for no language packs at all to be installed.)

Thank you for the fast answer! I will check this night.

Are you meaning just removing that line from the preseed.cfg, or by setting it to false?

i.e.:
d-i pkgsel/language-packs string false

No, I meant exactly what I said. The value is an empty string.
