You can download only parts of libreoffice that you need, e.g.

apt install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc

Also, you can use --no-install-recommends option:

apt-get --no-install-recommends install libreoffice-writer libreoffice-calc

I added an alias to my .profile so that --no-install-recommends is 
always set:

2020-09-08 13:45:56 root@tinkywinky ~
# grep 'no-install-recommends' .profile*
.profile:alias apt-get='apt-get --no-install-recommends'

You may wish to add this to your apt configuration
file(s), /etc/apt/apt.conf or /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*, instead, like so:

APT::Install-Recommends "false";

That should apply to apt-get, (I believe) aptitude, and synaptic, as
well as apt, should you decide to use one of those.

Interesting possibility.  Thanks for the suggestion.  :-)
