Bug description:
  libreoffice_25.2.5~rc2.orig-yaru.tar.xz contains a broken symlink `yaru-theme.update.xml`.
  It seems that unpacking this file fails and the follow up error is shown.

  
  dpkg-source: info: unpacking libreoffice_25.2.5~rc2.orig-yaru.tar.xz
  chmod: '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/libreoffice_25.2.5~rc2.orig-yaru.tar.xz.tmp-extract._XHfA/yaru-theme.update.xml': No such file or directory (os error 2)
  dpkg-source: error: chmod -R -- u+r+w+X,g+r+w+X,o+r-w+X /<<PKGBUILDDIR>>/libreoffice_25.2.5~rc2.orig-yaru.tar.xz.tmp-extract._XHfA subprocess returned exit status 1
  E: FAILED [dpkg-source died]

  
  This currently blocks libreoffice builds for questing on arm64/armhf.
