"[...] given OOo/LO's tradition of being installable to arbitrary

process to get their work done] to help them to find a OOo/LO
installation, with fallbacks to platform-specific heuristics. For
Unix, that includes searching PATH for a file or symlink named
'soffice'. Not breaking that has been one reason why it has never
been considered worthwhile to drop the /usr/bin/soffice symlink
'just for aesthetics.'"
That reminds me of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=695916 and
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=121481...
