libreoffice (1:5.0.3~rc2-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream release candidate

  * debian/patches/icu-56.diff: prepare for ICU 56; fix FTBFS with new
    charmaps; backported from master

  * debian/rules:
    - remove l10ntools build hack again, now obsolete
  * debian/control{.sdk}.in, debian/rules, debian/libreoffice-dev-doc.links:
    - stop moving the SDK docs into libreoffice-devs /usr/share/doc (and move
      the stuff installed into /usr/share/doc/libreoffice/sdk in libreoffice-dev
      to /usr/share/doc/libreoffice-dev, too) and conflict against
      libreoffice-dev / libreoffice-dev-doc (<= 1:5.0.3~rc1-2) where needed
      (closes: #803272, #803306)

See the bugs mentioned for details.

With this bug and the bogus Version: setting you even make this bug
blocking migration of the above fix.

Please: some more research before filing bugs like this.

Yes, I know, but a strtech->sid upgrade is a problem here, especially when
you have already -dev or -dev-doc installed.

A stable->stretch and stable->sid upgrade works. And strech->sid is
development->dxevelopment, so breakage can happen...
