If during Debian installation an user selects GNOME -based 'Debian desktop environment', (please see pic in long link below) < https://metztli.it/blog/media/blogs/ixiptli/quick-uploads/p121/nanahuahuatl-2016-03-18_22-31-19.jpg > it will download LibreOffice -- as the meta-package has artificial dependence on LibreOffice. Moreover, after the debian installation completes successfully, if the user wants to purge LibreOffice, action will also remove critical GNOME component(s) that will eventually cause software incompatibility issues with the 'Debian desktop environment'; in other words, purging LibreOffice breaks desktop GUI and GDM3. It can be easily verfified at: < https://packages.debian.org/stretch/gnome-core > If you look at the source: < http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/meta-gnome3/meta-gnome3_3.22+3.tar.xz > after expanding it, grep control and control.in: grep -i libreoffice meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control* meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control: libreoffice-evolution, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control: libreoffice-gnome, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control: libreoffice-writer, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control: libreoffice-calc, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control: libreoffice-impress, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control.in: libreoffice-evolution, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control.in: libreoffice-gnome, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control.in: libreoffice-writer, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control.in: libreoffice-calc, meta-gnome3-3.22+3/debian/control.in: libreoffice-impress, dependency is totally *artificial* since the 'Debian desktop environment' can be perfectly built without forcing LibreOffice on the user. As a matter of fact, it could ask the user whether s/he wants Apache OpenOffice OR no office suite at all -- if the Debian devs so desired. Of course it is possible to rebuild the above package after stripping references to LibreOffice and it will succeed. After the user merely installs minimally two(2) generated DEB replacements: gnome_3.22+3.1_amd64.deb gnome-core_3.22+3.1_amd64.deb (my built replacements above have a .1 above debian official LibreOffice equivalents) < https://sourceforge.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/files/No-LibreOffice-dependency_GNOME/ > s/he can purge LibreOffice *without* breaking her 'Debian desktop environment' GUI nor GDM3. Notwithstanding, it is no trivial task to rebuild package without references to LibreOffice.
