I don't see how you got this version at all. Besides the fact that this is built out of libreoffice-dictionaries and doesn't get special handling and thus is

$ grep version description.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <version value="2.40" />
         <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="3.0" d:name="OpenOffice.org 3.0" />

this is even in stable:

rene@frodo:~/libreoffice-dictionaries-25.2.3/dictionaries/sv_SE$ grep version description.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <version value="2.40" />
         <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="3.0" d:name="OpenOffice.org 3.0" />

lbreoffice-dictionaries 7.5.0 from oldstable doesn't even contain a version.

Wrong.

$ grep version description.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     <version value="2.40" />
         <OpenOffice.org-minimal-version value="3.0" d:name="OpenOffice.org 3.0" />

Which is not merged. So your subject a) is wrong from the version you come from and b) from the version you are wanting me to go to.

GitHub is not  the source of this package. :)

As shown, the package is on par with what is current in libreoffice-dictionaries' repo.


Ideally someone would package it up from GitHub and then it can be removed here.
