I'm not really comfortable with this change, but let's see what upstream
say about it in FreeBSD bugzilla.
My initial concerns are:
* maybe it leads to big memory allocations and, on some platforms
(especially kfreebsd-i386) this may be excessive
* if we do something that's not the default upstream, then a Debian
chroot on regular FreeBSD (or vice-versa) will behave in different
ways.

I haven't seen this problem with Debian libreoffice builds (yet).
libreoffice is also in FreeBSD ports. If it does become a problem when
some later version is packaged, we could revisit this.
(Maybe it is/was a bug in libreoffice itself, or the Ubuntu packaging;
and maybe fixing it to support a lower ARG_MAX is desirable anyway, it
may be more efficient on Linux too.)
Thanks,
Regards,
