The package to install is openoffice.org. You could find that with something
like 'apt-cache search openoffice'.
You cannot install individual components in OOo 1.1. For version 2 (due out
in March), upstream do support individual packages and the Debian packages
will be split too, but I'm afraid the -core package is far larger than the
components and there will not be big savings. See the package sizes here:
