Nikola,
Excellent Work!

I found the following useful for Debian Squeeze(testing) XFCE:
1.(altered) add the line to /etc/apt/sources.list (remove quotes)
"deb http://download.tuxfamily.org/gericom/libreoffice  / "
(note: observe spaces around last slash '/')

2. same as above
3. sudo apt-get install libreoffice3
installs libreoffice (meta package?) and picks up dependencies

However, the libreoffice3 package didn't install the debian-menus deb 
archive.
I must be missing something about apt-get usage as I had to manually 
downloaded the deb archive and perform a "dpkg -i [file].deb" on it.

And presto - libreoffice is in my menus under "Office" [Yeah!]

The only problem I found was when I started the base program I received 
an error message about:
"...missing vcl resource. This indicates that files vital to 
localization are missing. You might have a corrupt installation."

Any suggestions as to how I can convince apt to use "en-us" when my 
computer is using "en-ca"? Or should I just download the available en-us 
LibO deb files?
