Well, first of all, I made a mistake when mentioning the Debian repo.  I meant
the Debian version from your repo site.

Second, the options to choose the proper category for bug reporting are
completely wrong in that they are misleading.  Someone needs to fix that or
even intelligent people will get it wrong.  If it is too obscure, it does not
work.  Period.

Third, thanks for making any necessary corrections.  You obviously know the
acronyms.

Fourth, I guess you missed the part that there is no upgrade available from the
Debian repo and only an annoying popup whenever the program is started.  If the
user keeps their system upgraded, then it is assumed that LibreOffice is the
latest.  So this is confusing.

This forces the user to dick around with a weird way of upgrading.  So, I went
to the LibreOffice web site that the link gave me and downloaded the .deb
(Debian) version.

Note these things: It claimed to be the latest version, but is not.  It is not
the user's fault if the version numbering is off.  The automatic upgrading is
not available from LibreOffice if they are going to bug the user about version
numbers.
