I have to say that I did not test this exact setup using chain AND dependency. 
But I don't see why it shouldn't actually work as expected. The dependency 
configuration should take care to install LibreOffice before in case the LO Help 
is somehow executed first (e.g. bi higher priority or same priority and just 
appearing first in profile).

The chain should make sure that a package is installed right _after_ the package 
defining the chain. So if LibreOffice is installed first it will just make sure 
the help is installed immediately after.

Even if both packages are listed in profiles WPKG should not install it twice. 
There is some kind of "loop" prevention in WPKG. It never executes a package 
twice during a single run. Therefore it will state that the package has already 
been processed during this run.
