So I guess all of this does the equialvent of cp -a which then makes the files on your desktop point to ../../lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/<whetever>.desktop which obviusly is not valid. We can get out of this by: - making the symlink absolute - would be against a "should" in debian policy though (10.5) - hack after the install of LO so that we move /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/xdg/* to /usr/share/applications. The first one would be easiest and less intrusive, but given this bug is not "important" or higher it's probably nothing we could fix in this freeze for wheezy.
