Nah, that script was just ran on -help-* and -l10n-*.

Hmm, actually this is what was meant with

libreoffice (1:6.4.0~beta1-0reprotest1) experimental; urgency=medium

  * New upstream beta release

  * debian/rules:
    - add szl to (LANGPACK)ISOS so that we build a Upper Silesian
      l10n when languages get enabled again
  * debian/*.maintscript: fix
  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

but that only fixed half of the problem, should have used /g (and didn't notice the second part also be broken...)

(And that one was because of

  * debian/rules, debian/control.in, debian/*.maintscript:
    stop using --link-doc=. a) for -style-* as they cause a circular dependency
    (closes: #940303) and b) since it doesn't work anymore with the -core-nogui
    alternative

in 1:6.4.0~alpha1-0reprotest1

Will fix and upload.

Either asap or next week when rc1 will be there (but either way will be NEW given the previous versions
are still waiting in NEW since mid-November...)

Regards,

Rene
