Presumably this same person will take care of LibreOffice packaging. I can't speak for Canonical as I am not involved in packaging or hiring such resources (and wasn't, when I worked for them).
The current release is not alpha but a release candidate 3.3.0-rc1 which I have been using for some weeks now and installs cleanly besides OpenOffice.org without conflicts that I could see in my limited use of Writer and Impress. I also tested language packs: logging into different language sessions brought the corresponding language LO apps when invoked, as expected.
