Which is quite a different situation, as LO builds its metapackage itself so
a LO backports gets you that one automatically. (and it doesn't have
versioned depends, which was the question here).
Source packages get backported, not binary packages and thus you of
course also get a updated "libreoffice" package.

xfce4(-dbg) is ONLY metapackages, though.
