There's always a reason behind the madness :)

More internal dependencies that can be ripped out of LibreOffice means
that compilation time is shorter, we have smaller packages, the
software uses less disk space. This is why we have shared libraries.

Bapt and others (possibly including you?) have done a fantastic job in
sorting these dependencies-- it's worthwhile!

Unfortunately there're teething problems with the dependencies, but
when they're fixed it'll be much better.
