Hi Jay,
Thanks for that information. I was aware of that. I have two concerns
with using it. First, it may update me when I don't want to be
updated, like from 3.5.x to an early 3.6.x. I generally don't go to a
new LibreOffice series until the second beta has been finished, so for
the 3.6 series, it would be 3.6.2. The other concern is in the past I
had issues with OpenOffice releases in the Ubuntu repositories, and
just seemed to have better luck with the ones directly from
OpenOffice/LibreOffice.
The launchpad page for the ppa indicates that it is an "unofficial"
repository.
To turn off automatic updating in Synaptic go to Settings>Repositories
and select "Other Software" tab. Then scroll until you find the ppa and
unselect it. The Update Manager will ignore the ppa until it is reactivated.
Any thoughts or comments about my thoughts would be appreciated. I'm
assuming the ppa you are speaking of is in the Ubuntu repositories and
it is the Ubuntu version.

An alternative is to install the ppa libreoffice/ppa using:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa: libreoffice/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
This ppa is updated within a couple of days of a release of a new
version of LO. Thus your update manager will keep track of LO for you.
