We are working on an announcement, which has a small paragraph about
that.  Currently it reads as follows:

<h2>Installation of LibreOffice</h2>

<p> Interested users of the current stable release Debian 6.0
<q>Squeeze</q> may  add
the following line in their <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt> file:

<pre>
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main
</pre>

After adding this, perform an update and install the package
<tt>libreoffice</tt>  from the <tt>squeeze-backports</tt> suite using
the
package management software of your choice (e.g. <tt>apt-get update ;
apt-get install -t
squeeze-backports libreoffice</tt>). Previously installed OpenOffice.org
packages should be uninstalled automatically.
More information on backports can be found on the <a
href="http://backports-master.debian.org/";>backports.debian.org
webpage</a>.
</p>



Does that answer your question?  If not, we surely need to tweak that
paragraph ;)
