A possible obstacle with that approach: the libreoffice code invokes the additional API function to implements this when _not_ configured[1] to use the system-provided clucene. And so a question: could the fix be achieved by changing the default value of the version field from millis-timestamp to zero -- meaning: without needing to adjust the API? FWIW: I think Debian should avoid carrying an API that is divergent to upstream, even if the current upstream is no-longer-maintained. Otherwise people may unintentionally write software that works on Debian but that does not build/run on other platforms.
