Thank you for sharing this.

Debian Jessie is officially supported by the Debian project until June 2018
Yes. That doesn't mean one sticks "random" new packages in there or into
jessie-backports.
Right point.
I ask you that so late because regular users ask the same to me. They rely
only on the Debian repository.
Just use stretch and stretch-backports (which DOES have a Libreoffice 6
backport)?
They're packages not fully compatible with Stretch, for example the
Compiz screen magnifier. It's also not always simple to migrate people
in professional context from Jessie to Stretch.
LibreOffice 6 would be something for jessie-backports-sloppy if at all,
but I don't believe it would be worth the effort...
Do you think providing the package into jessie-backports-sloppy could
break or make the migration to Stretch more difficult? If yes, I think
providing a new LibreOffice is not a good idea. If not, it'll be really
use for users to have a new LibreOffice available.
