That is exactly `apt show libreoffice` that gave me the answer :-)
The point is that not everybody has the abilities to use this command and
find that libreoffice-gnome is the pacakge to install.

For them is the desktop task (task-desktop).

As outlined that installs libreoffice-gnome unless you choose an other
desktop yourself.

I don't understand: task-desktop does not recommend libreoffice-gnome.

Wrong, it does, as I showed. See my reply at
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933271#12

It recommends task-gnome-desktop...

Thanks for the clarification.

During install, if you choose for example: "Desktop environment", "LXQT",
                                                                     ^^^^^^

"print server" and "standard system utilities", then libreoffice-gnome won't
be installed.

True, didn*t deny that.

To sum up: if you install choosing Mate or XFCE or LXDE or LXQT, libreoffice-gnome will not be installed, even though those desktop environments use GVFS: most software will work on GVFS mountpoints but not LibreOffice.

If you really think that this is not a problem, feel free to close this issue. I really find this is a usability issue, but I don't know what I could say further to convince you :-)

Regards,
Yvan
