  Taking a look at upstream calligra I'd say that commit providing that 
functionallity it's 91b1e4324b3 If you really need that file I'd go for 
backporting that commit and enabling (and tidying up) calligra-dev package.

  I've applied it on my local tree. I'll keep it around in case we need it some

  Are you referring to df977d1d96? I mean, backporting those doesn't look a big
