They are lurking here:

You should add the "contrib" section to the relevant line
in /etc/apt/sources.list.
I had contrib in /etc/apt/sources.list, but the problem was what
packages name to use. I found reference to three diffierent package
names in error messages, apt-cache show, etc. None were correct. Once
you pointed me to contrib, I could see the actual package names and got
it installed.
Also, when I start openoffice with the ooffice command it says:
~$ ooffice
javaldx: Could not find a Java Runtime Environment!

In the Etch version of OOo, you can manually add a JRE using Tools ->
Options -> OpenOffice.org -> Java.
Yes, that seems to work, here, too.
Thanks a lot.

What?! Look, somebody's got to have some damn perspective around here.
Boom. Sooner or later ... boom!
