Perhaps it wasn't but Open Office was and I have
$ aptitude show libreoffice-common
Package: libreoffice-common
New: yes
State: installed
Automatically installed: no
Version: 1:3.4.6-2~bpo60+2
installed anyways. Way back in the day I ran Star Office and even Word Perfect for Linux too. I value stable above all else myself. The latest isn't even always the greatest either, especially lately.
Mostly I run Debian though because it starts off in the best state, and offers me the best platform for me to customize how I see fit.
