[Pkg-owncloud-maintainers] Bug#760836: owncloud: should not recommend libreoffice

[Jonathan Wiltshire]

Package: owncloud
Version: 7.0.2+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Forwarded: https://github.com/owncloud/core/issues/6355

Hi,

owncloud currently Recommends:libreoffice. With apt's default behaviour,
this means pulling in over 500MB of packages including chunks of X,
Java, etc. This isn't really very nice on a server for what is optional
functionality.

I realise this is Recommends, not Depends, and that functionality can be
disabled. But we foresee this tripping up our engineers in the future,
and an accidental upgrade installing a raft of things we don't want.

Upstream already dealt with this problem and demoted libreoffice to
Suggests:libreoffice-writer. Therefore, please follow this and do the
same in Debian.

Patch attached, with a slight difference from upstream:
libreoffice|libreoffice-writer gives users the opportunity to just have
libreoffice-writer if they wish.

Thanks,
