Summary

Installs the LibreOffice suite (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base, Math) in the coder-xfce-vnc desktop variant, from Ubuntu's repositories.

Adds libreoffice-gtk3 alongside the meta-package so LibreOffice renders natively under the GTK-based XFCE desktop rather than falling back to the dated generic-X11 VCL plugin. The GTK backend is only a Recommends of the meta-package, which the repo-standard --no-install-recommends would otherwise drop.
Adds the English (US + GB) and French Hunspell spell-check dictionaries (hunspell-en-us, hunspell-en-gb, hunspell-fr) explicitly, since --no-install-recommends drops the dictionary packages LibreOffice would otherwise pull in.
Keeps --no-install-recommends --no-install-suggests for consistency with the rest of the image (skips bundled clip-art galleries, etc.); the apps and their XDG menu entries come from the meta-package's hard dependencies.

Verification

Confirmed in a live coder-xfce-vnc workspace that libreoffice, libreoffice-gtk3, and the three hunspell-* dictionaries all resolve in the image's apt sources and that a dry-run install resolves with no conflicts.

Install the LibreOffice suite (Writer, Calc, Impress, Draw, Base, Math) from
Ubuntu's repositories in the desktop variant, alongside libreoffice-gtk3 so it
renders natively under the GTK-based XFCE desktop instead of the dated
generic-X11 VCL plugin (the GTK backend is only a Recommends of the
meta-package, which --no-install-recommends would otherwise drop). Keeping
--no-install-recommends elsewhere skips bundled dictionaries and clip-art to
hold the image size down; the apps ship their own XDG menu entries.
