Exactly my point. Problem is we are in freeze. But there are ways
how to upload packages even when in freeze when it resolves serial
trouble, aren't they?

My fault, sorry about this. Default libreoffice (at least in unstable)
can't hyphenate too.

Ok, "too much hassle" is really wrong reason IMHO. Jessie will be around
for couple of years and we will be without hyphenation in only desktop
publishing software in Debian.

What is even worse, if you download Scribus directly from its site,
hyphenation is working without any trouble.

I don't need any workaround as I already resolved this for myself (as I
wrote in #762942).

It will be great. But is there any way how to get this also into jessie?

I didn't open this bug report because of myself. I'm unstable user but I
think that those manual ways are hacks and non-power users will not be
able to use them.
