Good questions, and I think I know the answers. Canonical tends to freeze applications for a specific version, releasing updated versions only if needed for security. Firefox, Chromium and Thunderbird are the only exceptions due to their unusual release mechanisms. I believe that there have been large changes to the core code of Unity between 12.04 and 12.10, and further changes to 13.04. So, that could explain it: Canonical created package "lo-menubar" for Unity, but it works (badly) only on LibreOffice 3.5 if I remember correctly. It does not work on later versions, and indeed conflicts with them. krackedpress wrote > So if the next LTS is 14.04LTS, then there will be a lot of Ubuntu users > [Unity or others] that will be still using 12.xx for another year or so. > Now work for 12.xx, does not make sense.

The structure is there to cater for the home users who like to keep up-to-date (non-LTS) and the business and corporate users who prefer longer-term stability (LTS). I tend to stick with the LTS for stability, but because I use Libre Office extensively, I prefer to keep Libre Office updated especially when earlier versions have bugs. Conclusion: Given all the comments that have been given on this thread (and some more that I received off-list), I believe we can conclude that it won't work before 13.04. I'll just have to wait for 14.04 before using the Unity Integration. Fortunately, it is not a big deal. We can live with it.
