Dear Maintainer,

libreoffice-*-nogui was introduced exactly for the reason of which this
package uses libreoffice: using libreoffice for something automatically
without needing GUI. E.g. document conversion.

So I suggest using libreoffice-writer-nogui. That means "lowriter" is
gone, though, but you simply can use "soffice --writer instead" (which
is what lowriter calls anyways). --writer isn't exactly needed since odt
should be detected as writer but doesn't do harm.

Since libreoffice-writer-nogui is not available on all archs (left out
on the "slow" ones sincewe don't want to have *two* build of LO on
them...)[1] this only needs to be done after #983763 though (will mark it
as blocking).
