StarOffice is set up to have a script run from the user's home directory
which sets up the necessary environment. I haven't looked at what it
might take to debianize that process, but it probably isn't all that easy
to do. Installing in /usr/local and modifying your .bash_profile (or
whatever your shell uses) to invoke the .sd.sh script is pretty
straightforward however.
I see that Caldera is now offering StarOffice and possibly alien will
handle their version.
Hopefully more complete english-language documentation and/or help files
will be out soon.
The latest 3.1 is no longer beta.
