Bug#653629: libreoffice-writer2xhtml: Package description is very confusing
Hi,

> BibTeX format (works together with Writer2LaTeX).
> 3) Writer2xhtml converts documents into XHTML 1.0 or XHTML 1.1+MathML

common blurb for the package. as is done in many packages.

No.
xhtml != latex.
libreoffice-writer2xhtml contains the writer2*xhtml* extension, as it says:

This is why the description above states that it contains writer2*xhtml*, not writer2*latex*. If you wanted writer2latex, use libreoffice-writer2latex.
> And where is the Writer2BibTeX converter?
I am not sure...
> Please focus in the package description on what is in *this* package.
Please read the last sentence. It says what is in which package (except maybe Writer2BibTeX)
Or you do suggest removing 1) to 4) from the description completely?
