5.0.0 is due end of July, fwiw.
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/5.0#5.0.0_release. For marketing
reasons the announcement probably will be only in week 32 afaiu.

I am not sure whether I would want to wait for 5.0.1,though (tbd end of
August, mabye during Debconf)

That I meant. Just a minimal patch to build against the new libwps
- without using the new features - in the style of the calligra/abiword
patches.

Didn't verify this yet, though. Should do soonish, though, already added
to my TODO to try ASAP after I sent the mail :)
