Whether KOffice2 will ship in Squeeze is still undefined. Koffice 2.0 and 2.1
were not really suitable for the final user. Currently KOffice 2.2.0 is in
beta phase but there is not a date set for the final release. Once we have
KDE 4.4 in unstable (and there is not a date for this) I will update KOffice
in *experimental* to the latest (pre)release of 2.2.0.
About using KOffice in your testing/unstable system, you can try using koffice2
from experimental.
