AG,
I used Nikola's Deb archive (adding it to my sources.list).
I found that I had to uninstall beta1 to get things to work.
Once I squared away beta1/beta2 issues things went swimmingly.

Install from the cmd line for apt I had to use "libreoffice3* 
libobasis3* libreoffice-menus*" when I first installed but after that 
updates were picked up normally.

Hope this helps.
Regards,
Scott Furry
