Package: libreoffice Version: 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainers,
LibreOffice is developing rapidly. Unfortunately, not all fixes are ported back. A similar situation exists in other popular packages. Look how it is proposed to package Firefox ESR (life cycle of 9 months) for Debian stable (life cycle of about two years). "Mozilla releases new Firefox releases every 6 to 8 weeks. In parallel of these rapid releases, Mozilla proposes a version called ESR which is maintained for about 9 months. On the contrary, Debian having a longer release cycle (about every two years), release cycles don't align. Because of the complexity of backporting security fixes, Debian cannot maintain a deprecated ESR release. To address this packaging issue, once a ESR cycle is over, Debian has been accepting uploads of new ESR releases in the stable release." [1] Is it possible to offer something like this for LibreOffice Still and Debian stable branch? [1]: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006
