Then I don't understand. On the following page
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/editors/openoffice.org
the only supported architecture is i386 and 
$apt-cache policy openoffice.org gives the output
openoffice.org:
  Installed: 2.1-1
  Candidate: 2.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 2.1-1 0
        500 http://mc2-m038.mc2.chalmers.se amd64/ Packages

     2.0.4.dfsg.2-2 0
        500 http://ftp.se.debian.org testing/main Packages
in my /etc/apt/sources.list there is 
deb-src http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

Version 2.1 was available for i386 before christmas

I always remove the packages from my server as soon as they reach the official 
distribution.
