This went to the wrong bugnumber. Copying it here so the thread is complete (if wrongly ordered)

The only other other bit of data I can add is that I did also have the
'testing' repository available for a month or so, so some libraries
(including the uno-libs3 package) upgraded themselves to the testing
version whilst I was messing about with this and a couple of other
packages. It seemed that going to testing there was no
libreoffice-common package (or was it libreoffice-core?) So it went
away and I had to ask for it back to downgrade back to jessie.
Not sure if any of this is a clue. /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/unorc
seems to be a plain package file, so unless it is messed with by some
postinst script, I don't really understand how this could have gone
wrong. Whatever might have been wrong with random testing packages,
reverting back to libreoffice-common=1:4.3.3-2+deb8u1 should have left
me with that file...
Anyway, nominally downgrades are not supported so it's my own fault,
and hopefully this bugrep will help anyone else who hits the same
issue.
Thanks for the quick responses - not having libreoffice working at all
gets annoying quite quickly!
