In this instance with 13.04 about to come out as you indicate 
downloading and installing 4.0.0.3 from LibreOffice.org may be worth the 
wait - provided it IS the latest 4.0.0.3 which will come with 13.04.

However, once 13.04 is released and you want to keep up with the latest 
LO then downloading it from LO site and installing it yourself is far 
better than waiting for any upgrades coming thru normal channels for the 
distro.

As the installation instructions state, it is necessary to remove the LO 
which comes with the distro - or at least this is for me using RPMs but 
I don't know what the story is for deb packages. Have a read of the 
installation instructions given on the LO site.
