I haven't modified 9.1's debian/rules to use the new --host=/tmp patch
because that would be the first non-wheezy change in that package. But
as we need to fork at some point, we could as well just do that now.

I've finally submitted that patch to -hackers yesterday. I don't
really expect it to get backported officially, but it is simple and
non-intrusive enough, maybe they will consider it.

We have libreoffice in the archive, so I'd guess, yes :)

(Maybe the test suite could also be told to clean up after themselves
in every step?)
