Well, Yes 3.4.x is a very good release, but I'm having some problems with the docx formats. Yes, I know that I should NOT use it, but I have a special need.

But right now I'm running out of time, this is why I need to backport quickly. I'm trying to migrate a large numbers of users to libreoffice, and this is why the docx format and time are so important. Please, not misunderstood, I'm not rushing the libreoffice team. > Because of this I had a look now what'd be needed (see below). > > > But, I know that libreoffice is not just *any* package that you just > > could backport, is a huge package.

And after that I understand why this package has a RFH. I've never seen a package with 3 source tarballs. I have fear of building the package, becasue I think I could start the build and took me more than 1 hour for finish.
