Understand. Unfortunately, users do not have neither Still nor the Fresh
LibreOffice releases in the current Debian official branches (stable and
testing, I mean). Therefore, it is impossible to install 5.0.x (Still) via
package into Debian infrastructure.

The release plan for LibreOffice and Debian are different, and there are no
obvious proposals as for Firefox ESR/Debian, for example:

"Mozilla releases new Firefox releases every 6 to 8 weeks.
In parallel of these rapid releases, Mozilla proposes a version called
ESR which is maintained for about 9 months.
On the contrary, Debian having a longer release cycle (about every two
years), release cycles don't align.
Because of the complexity of backporting security fixes, Debian cannot
maintain a deprecated ESR release.

To address this packaging issue, once a ESR cycle is over, Debian has
been accepting uploads of new ESR releases in the stable release." [1]
