I disagree with this reasoning more than with the severity. The UI
suggests you might lose some formatting by saving in non-native format,
not that it might delete most of your content. Clearly supporting
non-native file formats is a pain, but upstream has chosen to try to
make that seamless (rather than an import/export workflow which would
have less chance of eating the user's data). Of course, sufficiently
paranoid backups mitigate most data loss bugs. That doesn't make the
software which requires such backups any less broken.

Well, given Rene has already said he waits for upstream, I don't think
that makes any difference as far as actually getting the bug fixed.
In the end I guess nobody seriously suggests removing LO from wheezy,
OTOH, maybe a wheezy-ignore tag would be more appropriate?
