Bug#708162: libreoffice-common: depends (as first choice) on virtual/missing package libreoffice-style-default



Package: libreoffice-common
Version: 1:4.0.3-2
Severity: normal

libreoffice-common depends on libreoffice-style-default | libreoffice-style

Packages are supposed to declare a non-virtual package as first choice.
(...or at least that's my understanding of the matter - I failed to
located the appropriate text in Debian Policy).

I see two ways to solve this:

 a) Provide meta-package libreoffice-style-default (which then depends
    on e.g. libreoffice-style-tango or libreoffice-style-oxygen)
 b) Change to depend on e.g. libreoffice-style-tango or
    libreoffice-style-oxygen

I suspect a) was intended (and perhaps even implemented in some other
distribution than Debian), and I see that as the preferrable approach,
as that allows for changing defaults without needing to recompile
LibreOffice, e.g. for Skolelinux which uses KDE (not GNOME).
