Hrmpf. I tried various buster upgrades when I moved the files and it simply
worked... (Even in a VM with GNOME, KDE, whatever installed. But maybe
that changes order so that it works.).

Ubuntu reported this some days ago, too, but as said never saw it myself.

I think if it was a generic problem this would have been reported LOOONG
go:

libreoffice (1:6.4.0~beta1-2) experimental; urgency=medium

  * debian/control*in, debian/*.lintian-overrides: fix some minor lintian
    stuff after the library splitout
  * debian/control.test-packages.in, debian/rules: move smoketest.jar into
    libreoffice-smoketest-data
  * debian/control.in, debian/rules, debian/libreoffice-base.p*.in:
    simplify and revert diversion of AccessBase basic stuff.
  * debian/libreoffice-common.docs, debian/libreoffice-common.doc-base,
    debian/patches/add-access2base-doc.diff: install
    www.access2base.com/access2base.html into libreoffice-common as doc
