--- Comment #3 from Eric L. <ewl+libreoffice at lavar.de> ---
I wouldn't overdo it at first and simply merge styles with the same name and
add styles with different names.

The use case (for me) is mainly a master document where I've spent time having
the styles looking like I want them, and cut&pasting elements (text, slides,
etc) from other similar documents, either:

1. because I write a document together with others and need to insert their
stuff into my master document.
2. even more frequently, I just have a standard template, adapt it for my
customers, write a cool thing I could reuse and want to bring it back into my
initial template.

In both cases, the styles are more or less the same ones and the ones not
matching are only a few.

For the use case of cut&pasting texts with wildly different style structures, I
would rather suggest a separate "search & replace styles" dialog, which could
also be used for other use cases, like cleaning up the styles of an already
existing document. I would actually volunteer to create a separate ticket for
this aspect.
