Imported Excel Print Areas BuiltIn_Print_Area are not deleted when removed

When you import an Excel XP sheet with Print Areas and try to remove them with Print Ranges/Remove they remain in the list of ranges and cannot be deleted. Ranges are named 'BuiltIn_Print_Area___1', _2, etc. and are still in the list after being removed from the page. How to reproduce: Create a new workbook in Excel and Define a print area on sheet 1. Open in OO and goto the sheet 1 and use Tools/Print Ranges/Remove. The range is removed from the sheet but remains in the list of ranges.
This is intended behaviour. In Excel you can use the print range in formulas. For instance: =SUM(Print_Area) In Calc this is not possible directly. Therefore the import filter creates the print area itself *and* a database range, which is used in the formulas. When you select Tools->PrintRanes->Remove, you remove the print range, but not the database range.
