That version doesn't exist and that confuses the BTS. The version is
1:5.2.0~rc1-1

How is this a "normal" bug? Sounds more like a minor bug or wishlist to me?
> debian/rules only supports two values for DEB_VENDOR: Debian and Ubuntu. As derivative distributions put other values in this variable, libreoffice cannot be built there.
Frankly speaking I consider the handling of Ubuntu there a nuisance, too.
And of course it can be built: patch it. This is a Debian package, not a
"general base for anything".
