As mentioned in the comment above, the issue has been resolved in
Debian, and normally this would be automatically synced to the
development version of Ubuntu. However, there's a couple of
complications.

The current version of unoconv in Ubuntu Stonking is 0.7-2ubuntu2 and
the Ubuntu-suffix tells us the package has some Ubuntu-only changes.
Since the package has additional changes someone would either need to do
a merge to combine the extra changes with newer Debian version or
manully sync the newer version if all changes can be dropped. (From what
I can see, the original changes was done to prevent unconv from building
on riscv64 since that platfrom didn't have libreoffice anyways. This
seems to have been resolved, and I believe the extra changes could be
dropped and the packaged synced)

However, the package has been removed from Debian testing due to
https://bugs.debian.org/1087383 which cause problems with LibreOffice.
I'm not that familiar with this package to understand the full details,
but I wonder if that should be resolved before syncing a newer version
or not.
