Package: libreoffice
Version: 1:4.3.3-2+deb8u3
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainers,

LibreOffice is developing rapidly. Unfortunately, not all fixes are
ported back.

A similar situation exists in other popular packages. Look how it is
proposed to package Firefox ESR (life cycle of 9 months) for Debian
stable (life cycle of about two years).

"Mozilla releases new Firefox releases every 6 to 8 weeks.
In parallel of these rapid releases, Mozilla proposes a version called
ESR which is maintained for about 9 months.
On the contrary, Debian having a longer release cycle (about every two
years), release cycles don't align.
Because of the complexity of backporting security fixes, Debian cannot
maintain a deprecated ESR release.

To address this packaging issue, once a ESR cycle is over, Debian has
been accepting uploads of new ESR releases in the stable release." [1]

Is it possible to offer something like this for LibreOffice Still and
Debian stable branch?
