It is as easy as:
# apt-get install openoffice.org2
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
Note, selecting openoffice.org instead of openoffice.org2
[.....]

Usually you just would say "apt-get -t sarge-backports install openoffice.org"
- however, this does not work to some reason i don't understand (i'm just a
user...)
