Yes, that would be expected because bison is needed only at compile time, not at run time. I would be using libreoffice-bin too, except for a ridiculous change made about a year ago in the way openoffice charts are scaled on the y-axis. I complained bitterly on the openoffice 'chart' mail list, only to discover that openoffice changed its perfectly good scaling algorithm to ape a change made in M$ Office! Nobody at openoffice.org would consider reverting that ridiculous mee-too change, so I've been editing the open(libre)office source code to remove it myself before compiling it. I was very disappointed to find a major open- source project following M$ around like a hungry puppy :(
