Honestly, how is that supposed to work. It's definitely the case that distros should build libreoffice --with-system-libs, but if we provide binary install packages available for download from http://www.libreoffice.org/download/ then we either a) don't provide Linux packages at all, and rely on distros building it, which is a tenable argument. b) build one/two Linux Universal packages that target all/most of them, and I'll all in favour of dropping the obvious libs which we can now rely on being installed everywhere, but I disagree that its doable for all third-party libs, with icu being an obvious to me example. c) build a massive pile of Linux packages for loads of different distros. If we build packages that target a micro-distro with e.g. icu4.4 on it and configure it --with-system-libs then those packages will not install without libicu4.4 available on the users real computer. We either bundle it in, or they have to get it from somewhere else.
