I am signed up to the debian-openoffice at lists.debian.org and watching the 
activity. There are quite a few OpenOffice.org developers involved in the 
packaging. We have missed the official Debian Woody release. The developers 
worked hard to get OpenOffice.org in main (rather than contrib or 
non-free), and it had to be ready for April for the packaging. There is/was 
one library and some Java components that require alternatives. Some of the 
initial OpenOffice.org developers were familiar with Java, when it was all 
hands on deck.

I'm pretty sure you are ok if you are Woody, although I think 
OpenOffice.org needs a library from sid/unstable. The developers and 
packagers are extremely active, so it would be best to get the latest news 
from the debian-openoffice list, web site, or just see how you go :)

All the best
