Most likely a long time. It wouldn't be added to any of the current version's repos. Ubuntu keeps software packages at the same major version through an Ubuntu release. However, you can just install it from their PPA.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice

Okay, thanks for explaining. I never knew that they stick to the same major version for a whole release.

No problem. The reasoning is that they once an Ubuntu release is in the wild, it shouldn't really change (except bug/security fixes, etc.). You shouldn't update one day and suddenly not be able to do anything because your programs are all different now or broken.
