"This PPA might contain the release candidate that is assumed to become the final release even before it is declared so by the Document Foundation (e.g. usually release candidate 2 for minor updates)."

So nothing surprising there at all, if you read the PPA description.

This is certainly interesting. Normally I would close the bug as NOTOURBUG here then (because it would be a distro bug only). I have an idea about the reason though, as I enabled mergedlibs on 4.3.2 and had to move some lib into it to get rid of circular deps: dbtools -- which sounds like it could cause this trouble.

Adding distro bug reference.
