LibreOffice really needs to bundle the fonts from the t1-cyrillic debian package with it. Yes, the Liberation font family has the U.N. behind it, but the "free" font family found in the t1 package, especially Free Times, is some of the easiest reading and best looking free fonts out there. I've p

No, it's not. The branch 3.4 no longer has the ALL Languages pack. This means there is only one pack for Windows users: the Multi pack which includes all languages that are still maintained (many of the languages had been so neglected that most of the items were in English, so they were removed).
