Fedora must not make any consessions to allowing JPackage to maintain overlapping packages in their repos. Because it is brain damaged. Period.
This goes for all external repos, not just JPackage.
The only parts where this matters are those where there is incompatible duplication within the fedora repository. What I specifically fail to understand is why those packages that have been duplicated could not have been done in a way that the same contents would be acceptable in both repositories. Why, for example, couldn't the changes you say fedora needs as a dependency for openoffice be included in the jpackage repository for that fedora release and maintained as exact copies?
