Hi,
I just noticed winff - thanks to your bug report :):
I see
winff (1.6.2+dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Temporary home directory to run soffice (Closes: #759980)
* Build dependencies (for javaldx)
* Escape Dollar signs in file names (Closes: #1053373)

in the changelog and chekced. Because that looked extremely fishy. It is.
Build-Depends-Indep:
libreoffice,
ure-java,
default-jre,
What for?
a) The javaldx warning is harmless unless you do run Java stuff. Which
you don't if you convert stuff to pdf. You can just ignore this and you
don't need to depend on Java stuff (which is not available on all archs)[1]
b) I don't believe you need libreoffice-base etc which gets pulled in by
the libreoffice *metapackage*.

So you just need libreoffice-writer and libreoffice-draw. Tried in a
local build with libreoffice-writer and -draw 4:24.2.1-3.
(Actually libreoffice-writer-nogui and libreoffice-draw-nogui would
suffice but the fix for #1058653 is blocked by t64 transition. So let's
ignore that for now.)
