For example, in Archlinux these are separate builds/packages:

libreoffice-common

libreoffice-base
libreoffice-calc
libreoffice-draw
libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-writer

libreoffice-sdk
libreoffice-sdk-doc

libreoffice-extension-nlpsolver
libreoffice-extension-pdfimport
libreoffice-extension-presentation-minimizer
libreoffice-extension-presenter-screen
libreoffice-gnome
libreoffice-kde4
libreoffice-math
libreoffice-postgresql-connector
libreoffice-scripting-javascript
...

So, there is a lot of functionality thru modularity.

For example, in CentOS (clone of RedHat) I can install libreoffice-writer
only, which pulls libreoffice-common, and perhaps some extension packages
(if so configured).
