     Amazing! I thought you needed java for this?

I think it is optional.  Note the --without-java flag.
     
     Actually, you could already propose patches for the dependencies that we
     could add to master.

It might be safe to put some of them in master, but libreoffice being libreoffice
requires some of its dependencies to be configured in a very specific way.  I'm
not yet sure that all of them are correctly configured.

     Yes; but I would suggest to disable mips and i686 and keep only the x86_64
     architecture for the test.

That would probably be a sensible approach, at least to begin with.
