I wrote my own script and tucked it into /usr/local/bin
(basically cd /opt/liberoffice/program ./soffice)
but no such script was installed when I installed the debs.

It's working now.
I think I explained in another thread.
I had copied my entire /home from my old machine,

didn't agree with the amd64 version.
I figured that out, deleted said dir, reinstalled, and all is good.
