So you figure that it's simple to remove the packages from:
https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa
??

Let's have a look:
<https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/1626654/+listing-archive-extra>

You figure it's 'simple' to remove all of those by hand? Or to go
through each one to see if it was installed (by hand). Not to mention
all of the OOo packages that the ppa removed in the process... Your
advise (IMO) is both simplistic and wrong.
