It's listed as an optional dep for the libreoffice-common pkg. Afaik you can use other formats in the base pkg. So it should not be essential.

with only the base pkg, libreoffice base can't manage any type of DDBB. Also, the ODB format is the native. It is as if to use the XCF format in GIMP I would need to install an additional package

i confirm the issue: without hsqldb-java package libreoffice can't create a database.

imho the solution is to add it in the libreoffice-base package dependencies because otherwise the application is USELESS (despite the application start also without it)

Confirmed.

Althought I do not agree that the application is completely useless without it (e.g. you can connect to CSV text files), it's still highly recommended to add it as a req. dep. since connecting to an embedded ODB database is impossible without the package. In my situation an embedded database is most of the time the #1 choice when creating a new database.
