I have made the following steps:

1) Loading of openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.diff.gz, 
   openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc, openoffice.org2_1.9.121.orig.tar.gz
   from the location
http://amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64/pool/main/o/openoffice.org2/

2) In the loading directory I have given the following commands 
   dpkg-source -x openoffice.org2_1.9.121-2.dsc
   cd openoffice.org2_1.9.121
3) I have edited the file debian/control with "vi debian/control" and
   I have changed all the occurrence i386 (near Architecture) 
   with amd64.

Note: I don't remember if I have also adjusted the Dependencies

4) I have given the command 
   dpkg-buildpackage 
   which have constructed many packages. 

I hope that it can be util for you.
Best regards
  Stefano
