Yes, indeed in these areas leaves much to be desired...The aim of the package is to facilitate the writing of mathematical formulas and this works sufficiently well. The package has a group of followers [0]. I adopt this package when I was an orphan [1], then I discovered already critical errors [2] (although the package is in Debian since 2008). With the release of the stable version (Squezee) and the replacement Open Office to Libre Office, I've just inspected the package in depth. In these days I've been watching the package more carefully and there are some issues. The principal is if it's worth packing Libre Office extensions. >>This is not the kind of quality I expect from software that is in >>Debian. I am not willing to sponsor this package. Ok. Thank you for your time and your sincerity. I think about that I do with this package. Best regards! I.

I spent maybe 5 minutes and I saw: - tooltips in French; - tooltips in German; - dialog boxes in French; - *lots* of error messages in French; - an error box with no message at all (!); - unhandled exceptions in Basic code.

Hi Jakob, I have realized some changes in the package. I have written a script for the change of them sources. Now the file control is the correct one.
