If Libreoffice-Help depends on Libreoffice, then you should not put a
dependency on the other way.

I have defined libreoffice in the other way, using an include:

<package id="libreoffice" ...
	<depends package-id="java7" />
	<include package-id="libreoffice-help" />

</package>
<package id="libreoffice-help" ...
	<depends package-id="libreoffice" />
</package>


In the profiles i put only a call to libreoffice, it seems to be working
as expected here @fcal

This was based on the documentation on:
http://wpkg.org/Package_dependencies

May be i should use chain and not include, but it works so i don't want
to make changes
