To sum up, there won't be a 64 bit OOo.org any time soon. 32 bit chroots are

bit apps at the same time, all is needed are the correct libraries installed
for the 32 bit apps. This last point is what Ubuntu and others have used to
run OpenOffice on 64 bit. Does Debian amd64 have such a plan for running
OpenOffice ?
You can use Goswin's unofficial amd64-archive package to get this working.
It builds amd64 debs of enough library and binary packages to get it
running, though it's running 32-bit behind the scenes. Very nice.
