I was wondering this too. The point-of-view of a PDF (DTP) and an epub is so different. The first wants to have a very structured design and layout, such as Scribus will do, but epubs are very much unstructured, and how they display depends a lot on the viewer used.

I just tried importing epubs to LibreOffice, and had no success - they were all said to be "corrupt". You could certainly unzip an epub and get to the xhtml files and import them into text frames in Scribus.
