     Actually there is an easier way to install multiple versions of 
LibreOffice on a computer using Debian versions complete with multiple 
configure folders. They are installed in the /opt/ folder as before. 
Version 4.0.x is put in the libreoffice4.0 folder, Version 4.1.x is put 
in the libreoffice4.1 folder, version 4.2.x is put in the libreoffice4.2 
folder, and version 4.3.x is put in the libreoffice 4.3 folder of /opt/. 
(I presently have three folders for libreoffice versions: 
libreoffice4.1, libreoffice4.2, and libreoffice4.3.)
     To be able to use these three versions at the same time I have 
modified the bootstraprc file found in the program folder of each 
libreoffice folder. The last line of this file contains this line:

UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4.x

     By changing the 4.x at the end of this line to match the number 
contained in its libreoffice folder. The location of the bootstraprc file is
/opt/libreoffice4.x/program/bootstraprc.
     So specifically, my three libreoffice folders contain the 
following files:

/opt/libreoffice4.1/program/bootstraprc which contains the last line   
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4.1
/opt/libreoffice4.2/program/bootstraprc which contains the last line   
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4.2
/opt/libreoffice4.3/program/bootstraprc which contains the last line   
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/4.3

Note: to do this requires a person has administrative privileges.
