Interestingly, in my sid test vm, the 5.4.4 packages from 
https://people.debian.org/~rene/libreoffice/5.4/ do show it again *but*
you marked it as found in 6.0.0 beta2 and yes, I don't see it there
either anymore...

*sigh*

But it is there and was there. And if it was that, why is it different
between versions and without any change to what we do with that file?
