libreoffice (1:5.2.0-2) unstable; urgency=medium
  * debian/rules, debian/shlibs.override.libcmis: bump libcmis dependency
    to (>= 0.5.1+git20160603) to assure the advertised google 2-factor-auth
    stuff is present

That's why I wondered what libcmis is.

The background of this bug report is that after reading the package 
description I had to use Wikipedia just for understanding that this
is about content management.

Writing the full names instead of only the acronyms would already 
be an improvement.
