--- Comment #4 from Jean-Baptiste Faure <jbfaure at libreoffice.org> ---
None of the commands you cite installs LibreOffice 7.0 alpha: "make" builds the
program and "instdir/program/soffice --writer" runs the build program.
Installing LibreOffice need to package it as DEBs, then run dpkg as root or
with sudo.

Additionally you can't install LibreOffice 7.0 alpha because it does not exist
yet. Currently the master runs under the name LibreOfficeDev (development
version), not under the name LibreOffice, precisely to not overwrite the normal
installed version.

To restore shortcuts for LibreOffice 6.1, you do not need to reinstall Debian.
You only have to reinstall LibreOffice 6.1 itself, for example from Synaptic.

As an alternative to building LibreOfficeDev yourself, you could download an
installation set from

Best regards. JBF
