I noticed this in .changes for libreoffice:     - use internal libwps, opencollada, collada2gltf, libcmis, cppunit.
Without looking any deeper just now, that feels very wrong. Either there should be more rationale as to why this was suddenly changed, or it's misdescribed (I see in changes merged from Debian changes in versions for some of these).

There's also mentions of disabling -evolution and -kde temporarily
because parts they depended on were uninstallable in Debian -- they
might not be uninstallable in Ubuntu. I think it would be better to
double-check them and keep them available if they were already available
in previous releases, since it would otherwise mean a regression for
some users.

Finally, is it normal for libreoffice and libreoffice-l10n to have
exactly the same changelog? Even if they come from the same upstream
source tarball, they appear to be two different source packages, and in
the case of -l10n, at least some of the changelog entries wouldn't mean
anything.

Title:
  [FFE] LibreOffice 5.0.x for wily

Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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.
