The testing directory for openoffice.org does not correspond to the testing
distribution of Debian. They simply have the same name.
The testing directory for openoffice.org contains packages which have been
tested and have no major problems. The unstable directory contains the latest
builds and packages, and may contain uncaught errors.
Currently, the openoffice.org-bin package version 1.0.1-5 depends on a version
of libgcc1 in Debian/unstable. This library is being kept back from
Debian/testing whilst various transitions take place in unstable. You can
either wait until the Debian/unstable packages trickle into testing, upgrade
to Debian/unstable, build openoffice.org packages against testing, or use the
openoffice.org packages which have been built against Woody.
Personally, I'm waiting until the libraries trickle into testing (for my
Debian/testing machine) and may install the Woody packages on my Woody
machine (currently running the 1.0.1-3 with some older Debian/unstable
libraries).
