The first list is just old dependencies, that's ok.

There seems to be a fair bit of libreoffice stuff in the second list,
including libreoffice itself. Here's the versions available in my
setup:

Package: libreoffice

libreoffice:amd64/stretch 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4 uptodate

libreoffice | 1:6.0.5-1~bpo9+1 | file:/public/debian/debian
stretch-backports/main amd64 Packages

libreoffice | 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4 |
http://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates/main amd64
Packages

libreoffice | 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u4 | file:/public/debian/debian
stretch-proposed-updates/main amd64 Packages

libreoffice | 1:5.2.7-1+deb9u3 | file:/public/debian/debian
stretch/main amd64 Packages



Little things like "reportbug" seem odd too... whilst I could live
with reinstalling virtualbox - but why is it and others getting
uninstalled in the first place, is the question I can't explain.
