Public bug reported:

Availability
============
Maintained by the Debian LibreOffice team. Built for all supported 
architectures.

Rationale
=========
Excerpt from LibreOffice build log:
checking which libstaroffice to use... internal

So it seems it would be better to use the packaged library instead of an
internal code copy to provide security or bug fix updates for the
library.

Currently nothing in Ubuntu depends on libstaroffice. In Debian,
libreoffice-calc, -draw, -impress, and -writer depend on libstaroffice.

The package description is
 The purpose of libstaroffice is to build a filter for old StarOffice's
 documents (.sdc, .sdw, ...) based on librevenge (see
 https://sourceforge.net/p/libwpd/wiki/librevenge/ and
 http://www.documentliberation.org/projects/ ).

Security
========
One security vulnerability fixed in artful, still unfixed in zesty at this time.
CVE-2017-9432

There are no autopkgtests for libzmf. dh_auto_test runs but there aren't
any tests run. There is a regression/ directory in the source that looks
to have sort of tests but those aren't run anywhere in Debian/Ubuntu.

Dependencies
============
All binary dependencies are in main.

Standards compliance
====================
3.9.5

Maintenance
===========
