I didn't go through with it either but I had a look at what it would
pull. libreoffice-gnome pulls nothing on my system, no gconf, no other
gnome dependencies. libreoffice-kde pulls phonon and a bunch of other
kde dependencies.

So I'd suggest:
libreoffice-gnome -> libreoffice-gtk (version?)
libreoffice-kde4 (leave it)

It's not consistent but it reflects reality.
