No. There's a reason backports bug get redirected to debian-backports as
the BTS is NOT for bpo bugs. It does not help very much that you try to be
smart and CC submit@bugs
See https://backports.debian.org/FAQ/, point 1.
It does not even know the version and thinks it affects everything
(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?dist=stable;package=libreoffice-draw)
(Yes, it says From other Branch bugs, but it appears open)

So between 5.1.5 and 5.2.2. Very helpful. Another reason why bug reporting
should be done on sid, so one knows what happens when, not only when the
thing is (supposedly) stable enough to get into backports.

Sorry, this is complete nonsense. Either it's "minor", then it's exactly that
and there's no need to revert. Or it's more. (BTW, stretch will contain
5.2.x in any way.)
Anyway: When looking in LOs Bugzilla I see
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101563
(do you use linked images?)
and
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99303
(which isn't very useful.)
based on theupstream reports I set the version accordingly to a existing
version. (And tag it moreinfo.)
Regards,
Rene
