If the documentation is packaged separately, as package-doc for example, it may be installed under either that path or into the documentation directory for the separate documentation package (/usr/share/doc/package-doc in this example). However, installing the documentation into the documentation directory of the main package is preferred since it is independent of the packaging method and will be easier for users to find."

Especially as the other path is exactly what was changed after in 1:5.1.1~rc3-1
for #804317 to the current one..

In case it helps, apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice-dev-doc followed by a apt-get install --reinstall liibreoffice-dev for safety fixes it.

Maybe I need to update the Conflicts: libreoffice-dev-doc (<= 1:5.0.3~rc1-2)
of the -dev package to Conflicts: libreoffice-dev-doc (<< 1:5.1.1~rc3-1) but
even then, 4.3.3 is definitely lower than this.
