Yep. I did a little peering around. soffice is NOT in the executable path,
but all the wrappers are:

oobase2
oodraw2
oofromtemplate2
oomath2
ooweb2
oocalc2
ooffice2
ooimpress2
oopadmin2
oowriter2

This line seems top be in all of the wrappers:
exec "$SystemInstallDir/program/soffice", @ooo_argv

That might explain why the upgrade "removed" soffice (er, rather moved it).

Anyway, that's should be sufficiently beaten to death now. :)
