[ubuntu-studio-users] Libre Office for Ubuntu Studio

[Alf Haakon Lund]

I think a DE-agnostic evolution is very desirable!

Also I agree that less (programs) is better. As much as I've learnt to 
appreciate libreoffice, even installing it on kde, I don't see a point 
to include it in Ubuntu Studio. That's what we've got repos for...

Thank you very much for your efforts, Kaj, and keep up the good work!
