Didn't think so.

So let's see that happens when the libreoffice ppa gets installed via
Synaptic:

To be removed:
 openoffice.org
 openoffice.org-base
 openoffice.org-base-core
 openoffice.org-calc
 openoffice.org-core
 openoffice.org-draw
 openoffice.org-emailmerge
 openoffice.org-filter-finfilter
 openoffice.org-gnome
 openoffice.org-gtk
 openoffice.org-help-en-us
 openoffice.org-impress
 openoffice.org-math
 openoffice.org-officebean
 openoffice.org-writer
 python-uno

To be installed:
 gcj-4.4 base
 gcj-4.4-jre-lib
 libcommons-beanutils-java
 libcommons-collections3-java
 libcommons-compress-java
 libcommons-digester-java

And of course that's not counting the libreoffice packages that get
installed... and of course if you can actually install the 'libreoffice'
package on lucid without broken/depends errors.
