I had planned on -dev-gui. (To match to current -core vs. -core-nogui etc.)
Strictly speaking gengal.bin is not a GUI tool anyway, it seems though
it's just happens to be linked with GUI libs/glx functions.
Thinking about this now actually, maybe it suffices to use a
--disable-gui version of gengal.bin for -dev here... Will try..
But then we still would need it for ui-previewer... Though I am actually
not sure this is used anywhere except for "core" LibreOffice
development....

OK, already done for the 7.0 packages:

If the above hack will work, one might be able to revert that :-)

Which wouldn't really help here as stuff will still "FTBFS" if they only used
-core-nogui, but yeah, one can add this nevertheless.
