This part isn't important, but I'll address it for the record.

 1. My original problem is "Australian English users cannot click Tools > Thesaurus".

 2. One fix is "apt-get install mythes-en-au"  (note "AU" not "US").
    This is a bad fix, because mythes-en-au is old and
    not part of libreoffice-dictionaries.


        bash5$ rmadison -s testing mythes-en-au mythes-en-us
        mythes-en-au | 2.1-5.4       | testing    | all
        mythes-en-us | 1:6.2.0-1     | testing    | all


        bash5$ grep-aptavail -s Package,Source -P mythes-en-
        Package: mythes-en-us
        Source: libreoffice-dictionaries

        Package: mythes-en-au
        Source: openoffice.org-en-au
