Bug Description
I usually don’t have LibreOffice installed, i never use it and always takes a huge disk space (the hard disk i have isn’t that large)
The problem is, as graphic designer, is important to me having Scribus installed - and on Ubuntu, Scribus always has LibreOffice as dependency (i wonder why), and it’s annoying having to prevent it being installed, or getting demotivated by installing Scribus because such annoying issue
I don’t know if the same issue happens on Debian
Thanks and Cheers,
p.

considering I made an effort to have the very same package both in debian and in ubuntu I'd say nearly whatever affects scribus in ubuntu affects scribus in debian.
Anyway, in ubuntu the scribus binary (from xenial) has the following binary relationships (version constraints stripped):
Depends: ghostscript, python-tk, scribus-data, libc6, libcairo2, libcups2, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6, libgcc1, libhunspell-1.3-0, libhyphen0, libjpeg8, liblcms2-2, libpodofo0.9.3, libpython2.7, libqt4-network, libqt4-xml, libqtcore4, libqtgui4, libstdc++6, libtiff5, libxml2, zlib1g hyphenation- patterns, icc-profiles-free, xfonts-scalable | gsfonts-x11
Recommends: cups-bsd, fonts-dejavu, fonts-liberation, hyphen-
Now, the only thing I think it's minimally related to libreoffice is hyphen- hyphenation- patterns, where just about all packages providing it *Suggest* (note that suggested packages are not installed by default) libreoffice-writer.
Can you try removing whatever libreoffice package is installed and see what else it removes, if anything? Can you also try to install scribus using the --no-install- recommends flag of `apt install`? I can't really think of any of those dependencies pulling in libreoffice...
