To install the dev-snapshots, those that are labeled as LibO-Dev-…,
there is no need to go into the manual extraction procedure.

The LibO-Dev buidls will install alongside the stable versions,
without interfering with each other. That's the whole point of that
branding. (i.e. using both different installation directories and also
a different user-profile directory)

You only need to go through manual unpacking or rebasing procedures
when trying to install different versions of the same "flavor", i.e.
when installing multiple LibO-Dev builds or when you want to have
3.4.2 alongside 3.4.3

This is already the case. Again the whole point of the LibO-Dev
branding/variant.
