Do we really need LibreOffice installed by default?

Indeed, JetBrains IntelliJ doesn't support OpenJDK either, so with
LibreOffice installed one ends-up with two versions of Java required, and
having to go through the hassle of configuring alternatives. It would be
nice if there was some mechanism to use Oracle's JDK to satisfy package
dependencies if one has chosen to install it so that OpenJDK could be
removed.

Oracle's JDK (the full JDK - not just the JRE) weighs in at just shy of
300Mb.
