So I tried the procedure and got the following:
lilserver:~# aptitude install -t squeeze-backports libreoffice Couldn't find package "libreoffice", and more than 40 packages contain "libreoffice" in their name. Couldn't find package "libreoffice", and more than 40 packages contain "libreoffice" in their name. No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded.Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 0 B will be used.
Could it be that libreoffice isn't ready yet for PowerPC?
