Sigh. I hate this dpkg bullshit.

(And so far for testing this in experimental first.)


The upgrade worked before this symlink was added due to #969653 (and
upstream not hounouring their own config) before I added this symlink. :(

Looks like I need a Conflicts: against pre-7.0 packages containing stuff
in /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/registry ...
