That's status quo in git now. (for 5.2, 5.3 (so buster) will get it back, using 3.0) Looking at popcon, the "Vote" count is sufficiently small enough to "risk" it: https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libreoffice-base vs. https://qa.debian.org/popcon-graph.php?packages=libreoffice-sdbc-firebird :) > - switching to internal copy - more future work backporting security > fixes If you get it to build and work with gcc6 on all archs (or disable non-working ones, like currently all BE archs)... I am not eager to do that, and then there's security, yes. (and I even tried to apt-get -b source firebird2.5, that even FTBFSed here.[1], which is probably why you wanted to get rid of it ;)) > - switch to fb3 in LO - incompatibility with upstream/others That would be a bit more easy, just needs big(ger) patches... > Do you want me to file a bug against LO so that this isn't forgotten? Well, I need a (stop-gap) solution soon, given LO will soonish need a rebuild for the poppler transition and it's unbuildable right now due to this mess.
