I'm sorry, but I just tried this (ok, -jdk instead of -jre because I thinko'ed
but that shouldn't matter..) and:

[...]
Setting up ure (3.5.4+dfsg-3) ...
Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?)
Selecting previously deselected package libreoffice-core.
(Reading database ... 28056 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libreoffice-core (from .../libreoffice-core_1%3a3.5.4+dfsg-3_amd64.deb) ...
[...]
Processing triggers for libreoffice-common ...
Setting up libreoffice-core (1:3.5.4+dfsg-3) ...
Setting up openoffice.org-common (1:3.4.0~ooo340m1-7) ...
Setting up python-uno (1:3.5.4+dfsg-3) ...
Setting up libreoffice-base-core (1:3.5.4+dfsg-3) ...
Setting up libreoffice-writer (1:3.5.4+dfsg-3) ...

etc

Anyway, if you want to try with the Pre-Depends: ure removed, I uploaded that
to http://people.debian.org/~rene/libreoffice/test/693626
