In Debian the libreoffice 3.3.2 packages are backported to "squeeze", and libreoffice 3.3.3 packages are available in "wheezy". You could simply add the backports repository to your sources.list (see also: http://backports-master.debian.org/Instructions/ )
deb http://backports.debian.org/debian-backports squeeze-backports main Then refresh the repo info and install libreoffice. If you're up for adding packages from "wheezy", you could add the "wheezy main" repository to your sources.list. Just be sure to first create file /etc/apt/apt.conf and copy the this line into it: APT::Default-Release: "squeeze"; This time be really careful when upgrading -- you do not want to upgrade squeeze packages wholesale style to wheezy.
