I help maintain the Ubuntu GNOME Project. Like Ubuntu, the Ubuntu
GNOME developers wish to only ship the core parts of LibreOffice by
default (Calc, Impress, and Writer but not Base or Draw). Ubuntu GNOME
includes gnome-documents which recommends unoconv and unoconv
recommends the full LibreOffice suite.

Please have unoconv only recommend the parts of libreoffice that it
needs.

When a component is missing, users get a cryptic error during
conversion. In the past, the Recommends was only set to *-core package
but this package does not include libreoffice-write (for example). The
change is documented in this bug report:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=641806

I will remove the Recommends on libreoffice and replace it with a
Recommends to libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-draw, libreoffice-calc,
libreoffice-impress.

It's hard to get the requirements right, but have a sensible default. May I suggest you do add/keep libreoffice-xsltwriter (?) as a mandatory requirement ? Not sure what package ships the xsltwriter, on RPM-based distributions it's libreoffice-xsltwriter.

BTW 0.6 was released (and has some very important stability fixes included) and I'll hope to release 0.7 soon with python3 support (though don't wait for 0.7).
