Bug#1041345: gnome: please stop depending on libreoffice on mipsel/mips64el

[Rene Engelhard]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:43+1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

See 1041340. mipsel was rqquested to be removed because it is broken
beyond repair and probably mips64el will follow.

I suggest replacing libreoffice by abiword, gnumeric. Leaves some
presentation thingy, though.
libreoffice is already excluded for riscv64 so I added riscv64 to the
newly added abiword and gnumeric instead.

Or you removed it without adding abiword and gnumeric - would also be
fine with me, I just need the dependency on libreoffice gone :-)
