Hi,
Since many years I use to update my office suites without removal. All major versions (OOo 1 and 2, 
LibO and OOo 3) are separate applications with separated profile folders anyway.
Any problems (if any) are related to the user profile which can be reset by renaming a folder. 
Within the profile issues, the installed extensions are the major culprit (but not the ones I use 
to have installed). So I extract the downloaded archive, change to the extracted directory/DEBS and 
run
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
If I want that version to be the default program with menu and everything I change to the 
desktop-integration subdirectory and install that package too.
If I do not want that version to be the default program I add a couple of my own desktop links to 
the respective executables. There were times when I had OOo 1.1.5, 2.4.3, 3.4beta, LibO 3.3 and 
3.5.x installed in parallel without any problem.

Problems that come up quite frequently on this list are not the normal case. It is designed to be 
update out of the box, particularly on Linux.
Just my 2 Cents,
A.S.
