Please always file against the "base version" (here:  1:7.0.1-1) at least since the BTS does not know bpo versions (correctly so!) and the version tracking gets confused.

I'd say it is. It is a configuration option in a official rc file, so... Do you want to file one?

You mean

/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry *to*  /etc/libreoffice/registry ...

Two reasons

a) There is CONFIGURATION_LAYERS and I didn't deem it necessary
b) I wanted to have a README in   /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry for people somehow looking there.
And I *did not* want to have that README in /etc:

$ dpkg -L libreoffice-common | grep READ
/usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry/README
/usr/share/doc/libreoffice-common/README.gz

A symlink would require that README either going away or also be in /etc which would make it moot...
