This error message really belongs to dictionaries-common, where
update-openoffice-dicts is shipped. I added that to try removing ancient
dictionaries.lst and friends, but seems that is becoming way noisier than
I initially noticed (I tested in sid, where those files looked unowned and I
thought they came from ancient stuff without actually checking timestamps).

Rene, what do you think is better to do here? Not showing the warning, 
leave a better error message or make sure from real ooo migration 
meta-packages that above files are removed if needed?

Leaving this bug report assigned to dictionaries-common,libreoffice,
although both Rene and myself read both packages bugs.

Thanks for your feedback,
