Package: libreoffice-common
Version: 1:4.4.4-1
Under Debian/stretch, libreoffice-writer installed, libreoffice-calc not installed, any attempt to open a spreadsheet document (extension .xls) 
causes libreoffice to crash silently. I would have expected an error
message like "Spreadsheets not supported in this installation of libreoffice -
ask your system administrator to install libreoffice-calc".

I doubt that the distribution side labor wants the trouble either, as the work to maintain the entire suite is already considerable. If a person has not installed a software, she did voluntarily. It can be installed later.
