            Bug ID: 152375
           Summary: linux packages : provide architecture independent
                    packages besides architecture dependent packages
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.4.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I just downloaded the 7.4.3.2 Linux x86-64 deb (Debian) archives files from
https://www.libreoffice.org/

For example, the libobasis7.4-core_7.4.3.2-2_amd64.deb archive contains
architecture-independent (and possibly minor version-independent) files in
these directories :
opt/libreoffice7.4/share/gallery
opt/libreoffice7.4/share/template/common

Is it possible that automatic builds put architecture independent files into
several architecture-independent archives, for example :
libobasis7.4-common-base
libobasis7.4-common-calc
libobasis7.4-common-core
libobasis7.4-common-draw
libobasis7.4-common-impress
libobasis7.4-common-writer

The other archives would have architecture-dependent files.

This helps a linux distribution (rpm or deb) to :
- spread packages with multiple architectures,
- reduce the size of security updates for the end user.
