Build-time dependencies:
- nlpsolver, writer2latex both need a trivial classpath fix to build against libreoffice 5.0, I will provide updates along with LibreOffice
- libreoffice-voikko builds fine against libreoffice 5.0.1
- octave-io has no buildtime dependency on libreoffice
- oolite ftbfs in unrelated objective-c compile and fails against libreoffice 4.4.4 too :/

As for the runtime testing: LibreOffice itself has more functionality
than one soul could manually test in one cycle, so I dont get to test
extensions myself (neither was that or could that ever have been done).
Against the 30.000+ users installing it from the LibreOffice ppa,
whatever I would do as manual testing would be pointless. Thus the early
push of these packages to the ppa -- and the close watching for bug
reports on both launchpad and upstream at TDF.

Title:
  [FFE] LibreOffice 5.0.x for wily

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  FFE rationale:
  * A current LibreOffice major version is a important part of every Ubuntu release -- this is a feature goal

  * relevant user visible changes: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/5.0
  * under the hood changes: https://people.gnome.org/~michael/blog/2015-08-05-under-the-hood-5-0.html

  build logs:
  * https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/7847324 (amd64)
  * https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+build/7847325 (i386)

  The following testing has been done:
  * Tested with users of the libreoffice-prereleases ppa since beta versions
  * Tested with users of the LibreOffice Fresh ppa (ppa:libreoffice/ppa) since 5.0, including backports for 15.04, 14.04 and 12.04
  * Also tested with the user of the LibreOffice 5.0 (ppa:libreoffice/libreoffice-5-0), including backports
  * This upstream release is the base of the Doc Viewer for the Ubuntu Phone
  * The build has been tested to succeed on powerpc and armhf too

  Current 2015-09-03 download stats for the current 5.0.1 libreoffice-core package which was uploaded on 2015-08-28 (so covering 1 week):
  wily: amd64 182, i386 13
  vivid: amd64 6919, i386 1196
  trusty: amd64 21153, i386 7795

  So more than 30.000 installations, not counting those from the
  libreoffice-5-0 ppa.
