I didn't put deliberate thought in what the order should be.

My patch WILL require tweaks on a case-by-case basis. My immediate focus
was to get the functionality in.  I invite people with commit access to
fix "minor issues" without much ado.

soffice comes from libreoffice-common
    ,----
    | kjambunathan@debian-6:~$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/soffice
    | libreoffice-common: /usr/bin/soffice
    `----

unoconv does NOT depend on libreoffice-common
    ,----
    | kjambunathan@debian-6:~$ apt-rdepends unoconv | grep libre
    | Reading package lists... Done

    | Reading state information... Done
    |   Depends: libreadline6 (>= 6.0)
    | libreadline6

unoconv instread depends on openoffice.org packages
    ,----
    | kjambunathan@debian-6:~$ apt-rdepends unoconv | grep office
    | Reading package lists... Done

I see an soffice.sh in /etc/openoffice/soffice.sh

    ,----
    | kjambunathan@debian-6:~$ dpkg -L openoffice.org-common
    | /etc
    | /etc/bash_completion.d
    | /etc/bash_completion.d/ooffice.sh
    | /etc/openoffice
    | /etc/openoffice/sofficerc
    | /etc/openoffice/psprint.conf
    | /etc/openoffice/soffice.sh
    | kjambunathan@debian-6:~$
