Qubes OS uses RPM Package Manager as its package manager. Ubuntu (like Debian, on which Ubuntu is based) uses .deb packages. Before trying to install a .deb file, check if the same package is available as an .rpm file from the standard yum repositories.
To convert a package from deb to rpm use the alien package. You should use alien as a last resort, you are better off compiling from source.
To convert a .deb package to an .rpm package:
sudo alien -r package.deb
To install the converted .rpm package:
sudo yum install package.rpm

You are going to have to find a source for the alien .rpm package first or else compile alien from source. Qubes OS is based on different versions of Fedora depending on what version of Qubes OS is installed. Because Qubes OS is a security distribution, I don't recommend tampering with your software sources.

Qubes does have a Debian OS template that is similar to Ubuntu in many ways and can be easily installed from dom0 like so:
sudo qubes-dom0-update qubes-template-debian-8
After template installation you can update it then begin installing apps such as LibreOffice:
sudo apt-get install libreoffice
The Debian template is somewhat on the minimal side in terms of pre-installed packages. If you wish to have a conventional desktop assortment of apps and utilities installed (including LibreOffice) you can select one of the desktop environment options (like Gnome or KDE) using the tasksel command in the template.
As for installing actual Ubuntu packages in Debian, it may be possible with some programs but YMMV. Except for the Linux kernel package, this is a generic Ubuntu/Debian issue; kernel installations for templates are handled with dom0 package management.

If you wish to have a conventional desktop assortment of apps and utilities installed (including LibreOffice) you can select one of the desktop environment options (like Gnome or KDE) using the tasksel command in the template.
As for installing actual Ubuntu packages in Debian, it may be possible with some programs but YMMV. Except for the Linux kernel package, this is a generic Ubuntu/Debian issue; kernel installations for templates are handled with dom0 package management.
