There are packages in Debian testing you can install to add support for
quite a number of languages in LO. Synonyms would be language dependant,
so there isn´t much point in having to install all the packages for all
languages when there are languages you never use.

There´s the package "mythes-fr" that seems to provide the thesaurus for
French, for example. Since I don´t speak French, I don´t need it, and
not installing that package alone saves me about 2MB. There are
currently 15 thesauri, so I´m saving maybe 30MB. Same is for the
hyphenation packages ...

It´s not a great solution, though. Who would guess that they should
install a package called "mythes-fr" or "hyphen-fr" to get thesaurus and
hyphenation support for French in LO? At least the package names should
indicate that the packages are related to LO.
