Yes - so it fixes a spelling mistake ("daß") and a key sequence problem
("dßa"). Not having the daß -> dass fixup in is then massively inconsistent.

Look at the contents of extras/source/autocorr/lang/de/DocumentList.xml - the
idea here is to correct common mistakes on the fly.

We can debate the usefulness and scope of autocorrects, but not for this one
narrow change. That's for the UX project.

Discussing the change per se (dass or daß) needs to happen in the original bug
report, better even on the German project list
https://de.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/ as its a language /
localisation issue.

Un-Cc-ing myself and ux-discuss. Let's move this discussion where it belongs
(I'm listening on all three mentioned venues).
