1) Why is LO jumping from 4.2.1.1 to 4.2.2.(2?)?

One of the obvious problems is icon size. LO icon size is set by default to 
"Automatic". In my mind Automatic means there is a criteria defined that
allows LO to use small icons in low res displays and large icons in high
res...
As far as I know, it never worked properly in LO...

I just downloaded Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS and noticed that the LO version
included is 3.5.7.2(!), not even 3.6.7.2 (the last in the 3.x series)
Why isn't LO updated in the LTS to at least the 4.1 branch? Firefox is up to
date with version 27...

Cheers,
Pedro
