Gnome doesn't depend on libreoffice.
What's happening here is that the task-gnome-desktop metapackage depends
on libreoffice (since the maintainers of that metapackage think that
it's reasonable to do so). Gnome was installed because the
task-desktop-gnome metapackage was installed; when task-desktop-gnome
goes away, anything it depends on which is marked as automatically
installed, and which nothing else depends on, will also be marked for
removal.
Try:
aptitude unmarkauto gnome
and see if apt stops wanting to remove gnome.
