Package: emacs,org-mode
Version: 24.3.50
This refers to the version of Org mode in Emacs trunk.
./src/emacs -Q -l ox-odt
C-h v org-odt-data-dir
-> Its value is "/usr/share/emacs/etc/org"
This value is hard-coded (and autoloaded; why?) in org-version.el.
This value makes no sense.
For Emacs, it should be something based on data-directory.
This was pointed out before in some moderately lengthy discussion:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg00002.html
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-10/msg00070.html
(In general, the setting of directory-related variables in ox-odt seems
rather over-engineered.)

If Org is run from Vanilla Emacs then setting then setting that to
`org-odt-data-dir' to nil should work (I think).
The primary consumer of `org-odt-data-dir' is a package distributor who
distributes a STANDALONE org. He can set this variable to the location
in the file system where he has dumped the styles file.

Yes.

For now we will keep `org-odt-data-dir' in org-version.el that comes
with Org separate distributions (git, tar.gz and zip archives.)

Indeed, we need to revisit this.
