Distributions always lag a bit behind upstream releases, so don't expect a new release of any upstream software to be available instantly in Ubuntu/Debian/etc.

To be fair, the LibreOffice Fresh PPA also doesn't (from it's website) have 6.0 yet. While OS vendor repositories naturally take time, I don't know that there is a good reason for the PPA to get debs slower than the website.

Believe it or not, Debian unstable just got it this morning.

Boy, it's fast. I open a document, and it's there in less than a second. Very impressed. Like with Firefox, I'm starting to see the backend work.
