Actually, I don't care about this breakage because I don't use either libreoffice and the gnome desktop. Moreover, as an almost 10 years sid user, I think I can handle a lot of things. I just tried to be useful by filling a bug report. But given the Julien's laconic answer and the tone of yours, I understand I have not been careful enough. Then, to avoid to waste the Debian developers time (and mine), I won't fill bug reports anymore. I also found very fascinating how you consider that a package breakage due to a library upgrade is a "normal/not a bug" stuff, even for sid. It smells like quality work here.
