There is already an armht/arm64 LibreOffice, both the one the Raspbian
folks distribute and a more up-to-date version in Debian (thanks Rene!).

There is also a work-in-progress Debian package,
https://salsa.debian.org/libreoffice-team/libreoffice/libreoffice-online (again
thanks to Rene).

But I'm told it's just too hard to unpick all the Javascript packages to
make it Debian-installable.

So, if you can help get that sorted maybe we can have some easy LiOn Pi
after all! The ideal would be something that runs from the GUI as a
NextCloud plug-in that, given the location and credentials of a freshly
installed Pi, would squirt LiOn into it and configure both ends to use it.

Cheers!

Simon
