+ I'm interested in how you found this. Could you please explain how you found that LO uses the graphite engine with the font Linux Libertine O?

It's pure intuition ;-). More serious : after I've found out that Libertine G (with Graphite) works, Libertine O (without Graphite) doesn't and LO included in the meanwhile Graphite as engine it was a counting 1+1+1=3 (in this case only 2 ;-).

Previous LO (and OOo) worked nice with our printers and libreoffice (my company uses it for all 'official' documents as superior Times replacement). Now I have to convert all existing templates (and 'reused' documents ...) to Libertine G. Not really a problem, but 1. I'm afraid I have to convert them again ... and 2. it takes more time to install Libertine G seperately on all our production machines (currently in transition from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04) than simply installing Libertine O from repository.

+ As well, do you know if the font Linux Libertine O is fitted for graphite?

AFAIK it is not see http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/

+ Also, should Linux Libertine O be fitted for graphite?

Naturally, best would be if Libertine G from http://numbertext.org/linux/ get's merged into Libertine O from here http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/
