And what do you propose with the libwpft library in -writer which is
linked against libwpd? And what will you do with the works thing in
newer version? Each package for each of those tiny ones? No way.
For reference:

$ ls -lh /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libwpft680lp.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 155K 2007-03-13 18:04 /usr/lib/openoffice/program/libwpft680lp.so

Not to mention the filter information is not easily extractable from the
filter files AFAIR so you'd have the option and OOo would misbehave if
you choosed them (like with -filter-so52 wher I bit into the bullet
because it's a) big and b) really obsolete stuff)

Regards,

Rene
