considering I made an effort to have the very same package both in
debian and in ubuntu I'd say nearly whatever affects scribus in ubuntu
affects scribus in debian.

Anyway, in ubuntu the scribus binary (from xenial) has the following
binary relationships (version constraints stripped):

 Depends: ghostscript, python-tk, scribus-data, libc6, libcairo2, libcups2, libfontconfig1, libfreetype6, libgcc1, libhunspell-1.3-0, libhyphen0, libjpeg8, liblcms2-2, libpodofo0.9.3, libpython2.7, libqt4-network, libqt4-xml, libqtcore4, libqtgui4, libstdc++6, libtiff5, libxml2, zlib1g
 Recommends: cups-bsd, fonts-dejavu, fonts-liberation, hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, icc-profiles-free, xfonts-scalable | gsfonts-x11

Now, the only thing I think it's minimally related to libreoffice is
hyphen-hyphenation-patterns, where just about all packages providing it
*Suggest* (note that suggested packages are not installed by default)
libreoffice-writer.

Can you try removing whatever libreoffice package is installed and see
what else it removes, if anything?  Can you also try to install scribus
using the --no-install-recommends flag of `apt install`?  I can't really
think of any of those dependencies pulling in libreoffice...
