Please, join me in presumptuousness !

Yes, there is a reason.
libreoffice is actually not a build, it is a repackaging of the official
binaries in rpm, while LibreOffice is an actual build.

As to the reason why I try to build instead of repackage, it's partly to test
the build process, because I'm convinced that being able to build a software is
pretty important, and we should not always rely on prebuilt binaries.
