Yeah, that one is a mess upstream:
- unit tests need debug
- tests need write permissions in the LO directory (which they of course
don't have in /usr/lib/libreoffice)

That part wasn't updated for some time, I wouldn't be surprised if it broke.
/etc/default is a well-known location for environment variables needed
by init scripts, though.
That said, for init script I'd stay as close as with upstream as
possible since maintaining an initi script is a PITA.
(People ideally should use systemd and the systemd unit anyway but init
scripts still should be shipped if feasible.)
But MRs (or patches if you don't have an account on salsa) welcome.

If someone sorts out the JS mess and packages the modules (and keeps the
chain uptodate).... ;-)
Then we just need to figure out the test mess (maybe not run them during
the build at all indeed and make it a
"needs-root breaks-testbed" autopkgtest. One should probably add a
autopkgtest anyway.)
