Currently, installing Libreoffice means installing the full suite with all components (writer, calc, base, impress, etc.).

Some distributions were offering this (like Archlinux), but some tricky inter-dependencies made the project too tedious to keep it this way.

Debian still offers such a split, but they face the same kind of problems (https://wiki.debian.org/LibreOffice).

Calligra is another suite à la Libreoffice that is split into components upstream, and allows the installation of each of its components independently (words, sheets, krita, karbon, etc.).

Would it be possible to implement such a thing?
