Oh, and because of the "autoreconf fails" issue which I *temporarily* (implied by "for now"
in "remoremove autotools-dev usage (for now)" in 1.8.4-1) worked around by not using
autotools-dev.

This then was changed to dh 10 without autoreconf in 1.8.4+dfsg-1 back in 2020.
As long as this was in experimental, that was OK, but for unstable a non-working autoreconf is bad.
What if we ever need to change it for architecture stuff?

Maybe the person who did all uploads so far (and this package was introduced by me initially solely
for libreoffice, and has no other r-dep) should have been asked...

Regards,


Rene
