Which then would be -core, not -common. -common is Arch: all.

I doubt that. If you want to get PDF/HTML export fixed as you want
you need to tell that the OOo authors by filing an issue.
If you don't, it surely won't get fixed.
Using ppt might work but it's a) a proprietary format and b) didn't you
want  to have PDF/HTML for the web?
