You mean libreoffice.

I think this is a bug in dictionaries-common. It shouldn't run
update-openoffice-dicts, it isn't
needed since OOo3(!). The trigger should go away. And IMHO it should only try
to remove
/etc/openoffice if it is empty, as there always were more config files then
dictionary.lst there.

And? That is the definition of "remove". Conffiles stay if you just "remove"
If you want them gone, use "purge". How is a bug here? Correct, there isn't :)

No. Everything you told here is correct behaviour.

But yes, if you do a "upgrade" this is a bug, those files remain and don't get
migrated. That doesn't make your steps correct, though. What you got is what is
correct from your steps. But there shouldn't be a migration document needed at
all.
