This is a *template*, not necessarily something you can just use? That's the sense of a template, to edit it. And I'd argue it is minor, and not normal. > I would expect that the installer should detect whether my localization > settings are using Letter > or A4 and install the appropriate template for this paper size. There is no installer. (Well, the installer isn't involved here.) These files are contained *in the package* (libreoffice-common, even language-independent, and you can*t just have multiple versions there.) and just installs from upstream: # install files for "create new" ... mkdir -p $(PKGDIR)-plasma/usr/share/templates/.source for i in $(SOURCE_TREE)/extras/source/shellnew/*; do \ cp $$i $(PKGDIR)-plasma/usr/share/templates/.source/`basename $$i`; \ done Hovever you do it so you do it wrong, although I agree with you that A4 would be a far more sensible default... (The other alternative would be to remove that Create New... support, people should just use File->New in LibreOffice, imho) Regards, Rene
