let me try to explain it better...
a user, open yast and select "office pattern"
it expect to install office applications that fit his DE.
actually that pattern always install OO.o

imho, it should work as following

the user select "office pattern",
if DE = kde --> patterns-openSUSE-kde_office
if DE = gnome --> patterns-openSUSE-gnome_office
if DE = xfce --> patterns-openSUSE-xfce_office
if DE = lxde --> patterns-openSUSE-lxde_office

where of course, gnome and kde install OO.o and lxde (and maybe even
xfce) will install lighter solutions like abiword,gnumeric ecc

That should solve even "tipical user" problem, because they use usually
kde/gnome, but also fix all the other users that if use xfce/lxde of
course do not want the heavy OO.o

i hope is a little bit more clear now.

of course we are integrating LXDE into openSUSE, but is still true i
would like to provide a perfect integration, based to user wishes:
