Paul, it is not necessary to remove OOo when you install from the
libreoffice.org deb packages. In fact, I'd advise against it so that you
can easily compare the versions and/or fallback to (U)OOo if you have
issues.

LO will be installed in the /opt directory and will create it's own
~/.libreoffice/3 profile folder. No folders/files are shared with Ubuntu
(U)OOo when installed this way. (U)OOo are installed in the
/usr/lib/openoffice/ directories and the profile is ~/.openoffice.org/3.
It is only when you install the PPA version that you need to uninstall
(U)OOo (also you can still keep a standard OOo in /opt with no issue).

Note: if you wish to install the standard OOo debs at the same time as
(U)OOo, modify the (S)OOo /opt/openoffice.org3/program/bootsraprc file
to change the profile from ~/.openoffice.org/3 to ~/.openoffice.org3/3 -
that way you won't have issues with running both in parallel.
