It does not apply with Debian/Ubuntu install.  There are a lot of other 
language files and such that were built into the Windows version of 
LibreOffice that are not a part of the install using the .deb files. The 
reasons are not important.

The real issue is the "publish as a standalone" for those that do not 
use LibreOffice.  The question I would ask then is: can you create a DB 
in LibreOffice Base that would work with MS Access?  Since "standalone" 
databases is something that most people do not write anymore.  I use to 
have to write main frame database applications, but that was a different 
environment now.  Most people "require" their users to use MS for PC 
based databases.  For network/browser based ones, MySQL seems to be used 
with the various script languages supported within the server/browser 
"system". For a "standalone" option, I have not heard of anyoe doing 
that for a long time.

So I would see if I could write a DB using LibreOffice that would work 
with MS.  That may be hard, since MS does not like others using their 
working files.  They "required" the user to own their Office package.  
Now that OOo/LibreOffice can read/write much of the MS stuff, it may 
come down to the controls, forms, and reports being able to be used by MS.
