Public bug reported: On upgrading to the latest version of libreoffice-common, I was prompted what to do about a modified conffile. I don't believe that I ever modified this file.
Setting up libreoffice-common (1:3.5.0~beta2-2ubuntu3) ... Configuration file `/etc/libreoffice/sofficerc' ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation. ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version. What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: Y or I : install the package maintainer's version N or O : keep your currently-installed version D : show the differences between the versions Z : start a shell to examine the situation The default action is to keep your current version. *** sofficerc (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ?

Note that apport indicates /etc/libreoffice/soffice.sh is also a modified file, and I don't believe I've ever touched that one either.
