[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#1024841: parallel: please build with libreoffice-writer-nogui

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: parallel
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

I just looked whether the idlc removal in 7.5 (or other changes...)
would break stuff depending on libreoffice.

While doing this I noticed that parallel does 

[...]
libreoffice --headless --convert-to pdf parallel_cheat_bw.fodt \
|| echo "Warning: libreoffice failed. Using old parallel_cheat_bw.pdf"
[...]

in its tests.

Note the --headless. This is exactly the reason why libreoffice-*-nogui were
introduced. ;)

Admittedly minor, but it doesn't do harm to use it :)

(Since it's arch all and arch all is built on amd64 anyway that libreoffice-*-nogui
is available on only a subset of archs is no issue either)

Trivial patch.
