I'm afraid that you've misunderstood; this is not a workaround. OOo has never "embeded" a video into the impress file (with the possible exception of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/660807 - which is an anomaly and different issue - not a duplicate) and has always been the case. The tests that I performed were not 'workarounds' but instead demontrating that this issue is invalid/fixed.

If you wish to have video files "embeded" into an .odp, then please file a wishlist bug requesting that 'enhancement'. Please also be sure to file the bug under the proper package (OOo or LO).

Further, if you are going to throw libreoffice into the mix (this bug was/is filed under openoffice.org) please do so at:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice, or with the PPA maintainers where you obtained your LO packages. Please do not intermix OOo bugs with LO bugs - they are not the same. Please also do the same for the "upstream" http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33860 that you filed.

As an added note: I've tested the same .odp/.ogg files in Natty using LibreOffice 1:3.3.0-1ubuntu1 using the test .odp w/.ogg files - works in that version as well.
