Notes

- openoffice.org <not-affected> (openoffice in Debian does not use the custom allocations but g/malloc)
see ooo-build/distro-configs/CommonLinux.conf.in, openoffice builds on Debian using
--with-alloc=system which causes the build scripts to use the system allocators instead of the
custom ones
