Aha, precisely. fdo#67041 is that one of the packages is called
"libreoffice" instead of "libreoffice4.1-debian-menus". And Ubuntu has
a "libreoffice" package, with a higher version number (because of the
epoch, that is the "1:" in front), so that package gets
"upgraded". Since the Ubuntu package is a metapackage for ~all of
LibreOffice, the whole Ubuntu-packaged LibreOffice gets installed :)

The TDF one disappears from the menus, but should otherwise be
unharmed.

That's pretty annoying, yeah. It can be worked around by putting the
misnamed "libreoffice" on hold in the package manager.

However, there is worse coming. Someone that has installed this buggy
4.1.0.3 will not get a complete fix when upgrading to LO 4.1.1 :-(
unless he/she uninstalls the misnamed "libreoffice" package.
Actually, the new (now correctly named) libreoffice4.1-debian-menus
package will fail to install because of file conflict with the
still-installed misnamed libreoffice.

We should add something like:

 Replaces: libreoffice (= 4.1.0-)

to the new libreoffice4.1-debian-menus package. Hmm... I should test
that... Petr, how do I actually build those .debs? "make sysui"? Nope,
that does not work and "make help" is not helpful. My config_host.mk
has "export PKGFORMAT=native" and I'm on Debian, so it should do
something. And "make CustomTarget_deb" answers:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `CustomTarget_deb'.  Stop.
