Re: Re[2]: Building LO from source

I think it's best to recompile the source from scratch with official DEB
packaging system.

IMHO, as an outsider, only Debian's own way to package LibreOffice can be said to be "official". It is *very* different from the way TDF packages LibreOffice in the .deb format.

How can I exclude some of the apps such as "Draw"?

Draw (and Writer, Calc, etc) are not "apps" as such IMHO but different kinds of documents that the one same app, LibreOffice, manages using the same soffice.bin process. But that is just terminology, we know what you mean.
 
Is it possible that
each app has its own DEB installation file so that I won't be installing
it if I skip its DEB file?

That *is* exactly how the real Debian packages for LibreOffice are structured. See https://packages.debian.org/buster/libreoffice Also many (most?) other Linux distros, like Fedora for instance, split LibreOffice into multiple packages, like libreoffice-core, libreoffice-writer, libreoffice-calc, libreoffice-draw, etc. 

(As such, I don't think that it makes sense to split up LibreOffice like that, I find it fairly pointless, old-fashioned and needlessly complex, but then I am not a Linux zealot, I like macOS more. But just ignore me here.)
