Perhaps it wasn't but Open Office was and I have

$ aptitude show libreoffice-common
Package: libreoffice-common
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:3.4.6-2~bpo60+2

installed anyways. Way back in the day I ran Star Office and even Word Perfect 
for Linux too. I value stable above all else myself. The latest isn't even 
always the greatest either, especially lately.

Mostly I run Debian though because it starts off in the best state, and offers 
me the best platform for me to customize how I see fit.
