Depends on the nut, doesn't it?
Anyhoo, I don't understand where you get the 50+ megabytes. I see two
dependencies in stable (python3 and python3-uno), a package size of 48.8
kB, and an installed size of 327.0 kB. So I'm understanding the package
does not depend upon the installation of LibreOffice proper (the
redoubtable "stack"?).
Perhaps my comprehension is faulty.
